Shortnose sturgeon revival spotted in Chesapeake Bay
North East fishermen found three shortnose sturgeon near Susquehanna and White Banks while hauling shad, signaling a possible comeback after the last confirmed sighting in 1908. Biologist Nancy Haley notes thriving populations in the Hudson and potential recovery in Delaware, with canal entry cited. All stores will be closed Easter Sunday.
