Menhaden are a critical food source for striped bass, bluefish, red drum, cobia and other sportfish throughout the Atlantic Coast. Maintaining an abundant menhaden population is essential to a healthy Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and the recreational fisheries that depend on it.

Now, anglers have an opportunity to speak up for science-based menhaden management. Urge the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to approve Draft Addendum II and take meaningful action to better balance menhaden harvest with the needs of predators and the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.
