The Star-Ledger
ASMFC public hearing on amendments to the Atlantic Menhaden Fishery Management Plan begins at 7 p.m. in the Ocean County Administration Building, 101 Hooper Ave. in Toms River. Bunkers are a vital prey species for striped bass and many other species, and their present abundance is only a fraction of the historical abundance. Proposals to reduce purse seining of menhaden could have a very positive impact on furure recreational fisheries, and those proposals need broad support in order to overcome the influence of Omega Protein.
