CBF has been working tirelessly to reduce the catch of menhaden to help restore "the most important fish in the sea." Menhaden play an essential role in marine ecosystems from Maine to Florida, but they are now at their lowest level on record and need your help.
On Friday, Dec. 14th, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) will vote on how much protection these critical fish will get.
Join us and help ensure ASMFC makes the right decision and adopts science-based, sustainable catch limits that will give our menhaden population a chance to recover. Demonstrate your support for the fish that form the critical link in the coastal food chain as essential prey for highly prized fish, birds, and marine mammals.
Food and beverages will be served for BREAKFAST and LUNCH!
And everyone gets a free SAVE-THE-MENHADEN T-SHIRT!
