{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Menhaden overfishing in the Bay

Any thoughts about how to get involved on the advocacy / conservation side of this fight? Is there a lead organization — maybe it's the Chesapeake Bay Foundation? https://www.whro.org/2024-02-02/virginia-s-long-politically-fraught-fight-over-menhaden-in-the-chesapeake-bay -Sean ...

I am open to recommendations on patterns to try ( bonus points if they are guide...
