Whit Fosburgh Accused of Misstating Menhaden Science
Original: Whit Fosburgh Misstates Menhaden Science on Qualified Captain Podcast and Overlooks American Fishing Families
Whit Fosburgh, head of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, is being criticized for comments he made about menhaden science while appearing on the Qualified Captain podcast. Critics say he misstated the state of research on the forage fish and overlooked the economic impact of menhaden restrictions on American fishing families, prompting pushback from recreational and commercial fishing communities.
Why now: Menhaden management is a contentious issue between conservation groups and fishing communities, and the comments renewed that debate.
