What is Atlantic menhaden?

Forage Fish: Vital Link in Food Web

Over fishing Over target Three Decades of Decline in Abundance (~ 90%) Age 1+ 5

7 “The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, which includes representatives from 15 Eastern states and the federal government, voted to reduce the menhaden harvest by as much as 37 percent compared with 2010 levels after a review found the species had been overfished and needed to rebuild. “ Historic (November 2011) Decision Historic (November 2011) Decision

– Coast-wide catch limit that closes fishing once limit is reached – Reduce fishing pressure by half, end overfishing and allow menhaden to rebuild – Commitment by fishery managers to rebuild menhaden to management target within five years 8 Goals

How you can help –Write a letter to the Commission. –Call or meet with your Commissioner. –Sign a petition. –Take postcards for friends/family/coworkers to sign. –Stay in touch via our monthly e-newsletter. –Attend a key meeting. (Coming up next: November 1, 2012, URI Bay Campus. 6pm)
