You may recall that Will Poston, Forage Campaign Manager for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF), was the Guest Speaker for our chapter August, 2025 dinner meeting.<\/p>\n

Will just recently sent us a link to a news article that provides a status update on the 2026 Menhaden Fishery, entitled “Menhaden board cuts amount harvesters can catch along the Atlantic next year<\/strong><\/a>” that was published by Katherine Hafner<\/a> of WHRO\u00a0 on\u00a0 October 29, 2025.<\/p>\n

This article announces that the coastwide menhaden catch limit will be reduced by 20%, which is less than environmental and recreational fishing groups had hoped after a recently reported decline in the menhaden population.\u00a0\u00a0The topic will be revisited next fall, with the potential for further cuts for 2027 and 2028.<\/p>\n
