What happened
The Forage Fish Campaign is criticizing foreign investment in the American menhaden fishery, noting that numerous organizations leading the criticism accept support from international companies. The campaign has made foreign ownership a central theme of its attack, with its executive director invoking Canadian ownership and questioning why the United States allows Canada to 'rob our waters'. The campaign has pointed to ownership in both the Atlantic and Gulf menhaden fisheries.
Why it matters
The campaign's rhetoric targets foreign ownership in the menhaden fishery, which could put pressure on the regulatory environment of states like Virginia and Maryland.
