  • The Chesapeake Bay is home to the largest breeding population of osprey on the planet. But today, osprey chicks are dying at an unprecedented rate in the region—worse than the height of the DDT crisis. One suspected factor? Not enough menhaden to eat. Atlantic menhaden are vital to the entire Bay ecosystem, serving as food for iconic species like striped bass, osprey, and more. Take action today to help osprey, menhaden, and the Bay!

  • URGENT: A recent bill provision threatens to open up the Bay’s oyster sanctuaries to commercial harvest. This is a direct attack on one of the Bay’s most successful restoration efforts. From cleaning our waters to building habitat to protecting our shorelines to boosting local economies, oyster sanctuaries provide immense ecologic and economic benefits. Take action now to protect oyster sanctuaries in Maryland and beyond.

  • The Atlantic menhaden is one of the most important fish in the Bay, but it is in trouble. Heavy industrial menhaden harvest combined with impacts from climate change threaten to throw the Bay's entire ecosystem off balance. We can’t let that happen. Please help us turn the tide and take action now!

  • Omega Protein, a foreign-owned fishing conglomerate, extracts hundreds of millions of pounds of Atlantic menhaden every year, threatening osprey, striped bass, whales, and other animals that depend on menhaden for food. The real value of menhaden is how they fuel the Bay’s ecosystem and support coastal communities—not foreign aquaculture farms. Please sign up today and help us fight to save the menhaden and save the Bay.
