Tarpon anglers fishing in the waters of Louisiana and Mississippi on August 28, 2025, watched commercial menhaden vessels set nets despite warnings from the anglers that a large school of tarpon was present in the area. The pogy vessels set their nets multiple times, and after hauling them in, the bycatch included tarpon. This video, shared with Bonefish & Tarpon Trust by the anglers who witnessed these events, underscores the urgent need for meaningful reform of the industrial menhaden fishery.

This video shows commercial menhaden vessels netting within a half-mile of the Chandeleur Islands off the coast of Louisiana. New regulations adopted in 2024 mandated that pogy boats in the Gulf cannot operate within a half mile of the coast, but anglers are seeing a very different story on the water. Roughly 1 billion pounds of menhaden are harvested each year from the Gulf by foreign-owned companies. The menhaden industry negatively impacts coastal ecosystems in myriad ways, including: the dep

A new article details how both striped bass, and the Atlantic menhaden they depend on for food, are concentrating in different areas than in the past – most likely due to warming ocean temperatures. Specifically, these species are increasingly shifting to northern states like Maine and New Jersey, and are less abundant in places like the Chesapeake Bay. This reporting highlights exactly why we need investments in relevant research so that fisheries managers have the sound, unbiased science neces

“If you’ve ever eaten any fish, you’ve probably eaten menhaden.” Chris Moore, Virginia executive director for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, understands as a lifelong angler and menhaden conservation advocate that without these critical forage fish for a key food source, we wouldn’t have abundant striped bass, red drum, cobia, flounder, tuna, and so many other species we rely on for recreation and restaurant fare.

Protecting menhaden, known as the "most important fish in the sea," would help the Atlantic's ecosystem thrive, improve whale watching and recreational fishing, and bring in more tourism from Maine to Florida. Now, your state's leaders have an opportunity to help create a conservation legacy as the species' fate rests on a Nov. 13 decision. | Pew Environment

Atlantic menhaden, also called bunker, are the primary fish species that provide “the fuel for the Chesapeake Bay.” Jon Henry Wehner, a Virginia fishing guide with Tidewater Charters who’s been out on the Bay his entire life, talked with TRCP about how important menhaden are not just to him and other Eastern Shore fishing captains, but to the larger health of the Bay and local economies it supports. “Every year it’s tougher and tougher to find ‘em,” Wehner said. “The Bay needs ‘em and we’ve got

On August 28, two industrial menhaden vessels operated by Omega Protein charged into the middle of six recreational fishing boats focused on a large school of tarpon in Gulf waters near the Louisiana-Mississippi line. The incident, recorded near the Chandeleur Islands, occurred despite repeated warnings from the recreational captains to the industrial fleet’s pogy boat captains over marine radio that they were getting dangerously close to already-established fishing boats and that they were goin

Forage fish such as Atlantic menhaden, locally referred to as bunker, can be found in large schools known as “bunker pods” in the waters just off New York’s ocean beaches. These bunker pods offer an excellent and relatively easy food source for many of our marine fish and wildlife, including striped bass, bluefish, humpback whales, and dolphins. This abundance of marine life also attracts many of our shark species such as sand tiger, sandbar (“brown”), dusky, and thresher sharks that feed on the
