Dear VSSA Members:
Striped bass, more commonly known as “rockfish” or “stripers,” are perhaps the most iconic fish in the Chesapeake Bay region. However, in recent years, the population of these beloved fish has plummeted. In an effort to reverse this decline, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) is in the midst of a multi-year process to rebuild the population. And they need to hear from you!
This is an important step in revising the long-term plan for the management of this important fish. Join VSSA in urging ASMFC to help ensure a robust fishery management plan for rockfish before the April 15 deadline. Please complete this form on our website to send your comments directly to ASMFC.

Respectfully,
John Bello
