From Stripers Forever:
Stripers Forever members - Capt. Paul Eidman and his concerned friends have formed Menhaden Defenders to lobby the ASMFC to institute a fairly conservative set of menhaden management guidelines to allow this depleted yet vital forage fish to recover.
We urge everyone concerned with the health of the striped bass resource to take action to help menhaden, one of the striper's most important sources of nutrition.
Head over to the Menhaden Defenders website to take action. In the center of the home page you'll find a simple to use tool to send a message to the ASMFC, which will make the decision on menhaden harvest levels.
