The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) is now accepting comments on proposed changes to its menhaden management plan—changes that could determine whether this vital fish thrives or struggles in the future.

As ASMFC considers revisions to its fishery management plan, it is essential that menhaden’s vital ecological role be a top priority.

Send a message to ASMFC right now—before the October 24 deadline. Tell them you want a strong, ecosystem-based management plan for “the most important fish in the sea.”
