A Chesapeake Perspective: Important discussions about the health of the Ches Bay from an angling perspective

A Chesapeake Perspective is a series from Coastal Conservation Association Virginia and partners; it offers “thought-provoking seminars sure to spark innovative and move forward solutions to some of the most pressing issues confronting Chesapeake recreational anglers.” (Source: CCA Maryland)

The partners kicked off the 2023 season in April with Opportunities and Impacts of Invasive Fish (also below). About the topic, Rudow’s Fishtalk writes, “The Chesapeake Bay’s health faces many challenges, and in the past decade one of the biggest impacts is the proliferation of invasive species including snakeheads, blue catfish, and flathead catfish.” The experts presented basic info and answered questions related to how these fish are impacting native fish and crab populations as well as the environment more broadly.
