William McKeever has been gracious enough to put his compelling 30-minute documentary "The Biggest Little Fish You've Never Seen - Menhaden", online FREE for everyone to view and share.
An eye-opening documentary about the overfishing of a critical forage fish in lower Chesapeake bay and the lack of action by the Virginia board responsible for commercial fishing in the state.
These forage fish are feed on Plankton and in turn are prey to sports fish, sea mammals and birds. The Federal Government allocates the quotas given to each state and Virginia is allocated 75% of the quota and in turn Virginia allocated 90% of their quota to one company which happens to be foreign owned. Foreigned owned companies are not permitted to have commercial fishing licenses.
The over-fishing has impacted the Osprey population in the lower Chesapeake Bay as well as reducing the sports fishing population that feeds on these forage fish.
Bird migration forecasts in real-time. Bird migration forecast maps show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours.
Every spring and fall, billions of birds migrate through the US, mostly under the cover of darkness. This mass movement of birds must contend with a dramatically increasing but still largely unrecognized threat: light pollution.
