Anglers and union clash over menhaden fishing bans

Original: Anglers push for banning commercial menhaden fishing in certain regions; workers union calls for support of fishery

Recreational fishing groups are calling for bans on commercial menhaden fishing in certain regions, arguing the industrial harvest depletes a key forage fish that game fish and coastal ecosystems depend on. Workers unions representing fishery employees are pushing back, urging support for the menhaden industry and the jobs that rely on it.

Why now: A conflict between conservation-minded anglers and fishing-industry workers over proposed restrictions has drawn public attention.
