Thousands of dead Menhaden fish washed ashore on a Texas beach after suffocating due to a lack of oxygen in the warm and shallow water along the Gulf of Mexico. The dead fish were found last week near the end of Bryan Beach. According to the reports, Quintana Beach County Park officials said the higher temperatures were to blame for their deaths as warmer water can't hold as much oxygen as cooler water. “When the water temperature rises above 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit), it become

Along the Atlantic coast of North America, bunker gather in dense schools. Though relatively small (reaching a maximum length of about 15 inches) they appear in astonishing numbers. A single school can contain hundreds, or even thousands, of fish! Bunker play a vital role in our local marine ecosystem. They’re a primary food source for many predators, including bot

Being known as “the most important fish in the sea” is a big responsibility! Schooling Atlantic menhaden are not only a favored meal for whales, dolphins, and sharks but also striped bass, tuna, and many other predatory fish along the East Coast of the United States. In this slow-motion video, you can see them filter feeding on tiny phytoplankton and zooplankton found in the water. Menhaden are small, but they are a critical part of the food chain and are integral to a healthy ocean and resilien

The dangers posed by the industrial menhaden fishery to Gulf species is well documented. This summer, one study noted nearly 150 million fish unintentionally caught and killed as bycatch in 2024, including redfish, speckled trout, black drum, tarpon, and other forage fish species. Allowing industrial menhaden boats to move closer to shore will only make it worse. Stand up for the 1/2-mile buffer. Tell the LDFW Commission to reject expansion. https://www.votervoice.net/KAF/campaigns/130858/respon

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

Part 2: Western historical references to menhaden along the eastern seaboard date back to the early 17th century, when explorers like John Smith documented the region’s rich fisheries. The species appear throughout early colonial history—famously when the Wampanoag native Tisquantum (“Squanto”) taught the Pilgrims to use them to fertilize their fields. Reports from the early 1800s describe menhaden as so abundant they were often driven ashore by predators like sharks and bluefish—around the same

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
