Podcast Discusses Menhaden Quota and Atlantic Fisheries Management
What happened
A North Carolina-based podcast featured an interview with Whit Fosburgh, executive director of the Forage Fish Campaign, discussing industrial reduction fishing and proposals to restrict or end that fishing in the Atlantic maritime industry. Fosburgh made statements regarding menhaden science and fisheries management that were corrected in the report. Specifically, the report clarified that the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's projections on menhaden quota reductions do not indicate that striped bass recovery has only a 50-50 chance.
