Congress unlikely to save striped bass in Chesapeake Bay
A meeting of environmentalists and sportsmen in Washington concluded Congress will not likely ban fishing or declare the striped bass endangered. States must act to clean the bay, with possible limited federal rules such as banning exports of bass under 18 inches and issuing bass stamps to fund habitat cleanup. The Chesapeake, once home to most migrating bass, now shows reduced stocks due to pollution and fishing pressure, prompting calls for state-led limits and bay cleanup efforts.
