What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Atlantic Menhaden Management Board voted 11-7 to adopt a compromise that cuts the menhaden quota. The coastwide catch limit was set at 170,000 metric tons for 2027 and 155,000 metric tons for 2028. These limits are below the 2026 quota of 186,840 metric tons, which was already reduced by 20 percent from the preceding three-year quota.
