(ANNAPOLIS, MD/HAMPTON ROADS, VA) -- Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) Senior Fisheries Scientist Bill Goldsborough issued this statement following the release of the just completed blue crab stock assessment.
Bill Goldsborough said:
“This stock assessment provides important new science to guide the management of the Bay’s blue crabs over the next decade. It shows that if Maryland and Virginia stay the course, the Bay’s crab population could return to levels not seen since the 1960s. This will bring clear and measurable benefits to all of us who enjoy steamed crabs, for recreational anglers, and for the commercial watermen who depend on the resource for a living.”
