Motion for Maryland Menhaden:

Menhaden advocates from across the country tuned into today’s ASMFC Menhaden Board meeting. At one point, there were 163 people logged into the webinar. Why was this meeting so well attended? Because of a vague statement listed as the final agenda item:

“Discuss Possible Chesapeake Bay Management (L. Fegley) Possible Action.”

Now, you know as well as we do that Maryland is not exactly a bastion of conservation. So, where could this be coming from? It didn’t take long to figure out. Pound net fishermen are not catching any menhaden in Maryland.

As the bay is changing, so are predator demands. Concentrated harvest is a serious concern and predator needs will increase as we rebuild overfished stocks like striped bass. Here’s the takeaway from this meeting:

Today, we have movement, and from that movement, there is hope again. All of us can work together to understand the impacts of removing hundreds of millions of fish per year from such a concentrated area. We can get a better grasp on bycatch. We can finally make some headway on an issue that is incredibly important to everyone in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

We hope they never decide to put these in Long Island Sound. Look at the destruction just ONE broken turbine is causing!

Another piece of the wind turbine broke off this afternoon. All mariners keep a sharp lookout for floating debris. This debris can cause a hazard to navigation and damage to vessels and/or injure beach patrons. We will keep you posted!
