Decline in migratory fish populations prompts fight for protection The UN assessment of the state of migratory freshwater fish revealed an 81% decline in the last 50 years.

We certainly have issues with our native long fin #eel populations which migrate to the #TonganTrench to breed, at the end of their lives - hydro dams, fresh water pollution etc.

Polar bears get documentaries. African penguins get nine years till extinction.

That’s 2035. Your kids might still be in school, your mortgage will still be running, but African penguins will be gone from the wild.

Senate adopts committee amendments to tighten red drum limits and require circle hooks to aid conservation S 961 would change red drum slot limits to 18–25 inches, reduce per-person and per-boat limits, and require non-offset circle hooks of 4/0 or larger when using natural bait; sponsors said the changes aim to reverse overfishing and boost recruitment, with recovery potentially taking 7–10 years.

Senate Bill 961 is set to revolutionize red drum fishing in South Carolina with tighter limits and new gear requirements to combat overfishing—will these changes be enough for recovery?
