Universities in Menhaden Fishery regions that have marine studies programs.
This will be a long battle. We will need the next generation of influential marine scientists to help win it. As they graduate, they will be the ones going to work in (or working with) the governmental agencies that control these fisheries. Reach out to these program administrators, professors and students, invite them to join the cause.
