COURT HOUSE – The Cape May County Library invites the public to attend “Menhaden Defenders: Restoring the Atlantic’s Most Important Fish” presented by Captain Paul Eidman. The program will be held on Wed., Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. at the Main Branch Library located at 30 Mechanic Street, Cape May Court House.
The over-exploitation of the Atlantic’s prized menhaden fishery has implications for anglers and coastal lovers from Maine to Florida and for the marine ecosystem. Menhaden Defenders seeks to restore Atlantic menhaden populations so that they can fulfill their vital ecological role. The group is comprised of anglers and conservationists along the East Coast.
Learn more about the plight of this critical species from Captain Paul Eidman. Captain Eidman grew up fishing with his father and grandfather out on Long Island and brought his love of fishing to New Jersey in the ‘70s. Eidman is an experienced saltwater fly fishing guide for striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, false albacore, Bonito and more. The current state of fishing in the Atlantic has raised his concern and turned him into an ocean advocate who hopes to protect the fish for future generations.
