Ocean Harvesters Urges ASMFC to Test 'Gauntlet' Claim Before Advancing New Chesapeake Bay Restrictions

REEDVILLE, VA / ACCESS Newswire / January 29, 2026 / In a letter to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's (ASMFC) Atlantic Menhaden Management Board released this week, Ocean Harvesters explained that the ASMFC should examine the premise of a proposed addendum to the Atlantic Menhaden Fishery Management Plan.

Ocean Harvesters maintains that neither the Board nor its Plan Development Team (PDT) have thoroughly examined this premise, and that available data suggests that other factors may be the cause.
