Comments on state plan accepted until Aug. 11 Time is running out for the public to weigh in on the draft of the latest Hudson River Estuary Action Agenda, which outlines initiatives that the state Department of Environmental Conservation and partner organizations plan to undertake from 2026 to 2030. Public comments are due by Aug. 11. The document, which is posted at bit.ly/Hudson2030, also looks back at what was accomplished since 2021. While the river has come a long way since the 1960s, when federal officials referred to it as an "open sewer," climate change has created new challenges such as droughts and deluges, which lead to flooding, sewer overflows, polluted stormwater runoffs and hazardous algal blooms. In addition, chemical pollution from decades of manufacturing upriver and cadmium in Philipstown's Foundry Cove are each mentioned in the agenda, as is the uncertainty around what effects newer contaminates such as "forever chemicals" and microplastics will have on the river. More people are enjoying the river, according to the document, but not everyone has access. There are few public beaches along the Hudson, which leads to people swimming in risky locations. The stocks of the river's signature species - striped bass, shad, sturgeon, river herring, blue crab and American eel - continue to fluctuate for reasons that are not clear. There has been progress since 2021 in some areas, according to the report. Six acres of restored oyster habitat are thriving near the Mario Cuomo Bridge. Over 12,000 plants were added along 4 miles of tributaries. Fishery-monitoring programs have arisen to fill a void left when mandated monitoring by the now-closed Indian Point nuclear power plant ended. Several dams along tributaries have been removed, restoring migrations of eels and other species. Recent research on the invasive round goby suggests that the fish may not be able to tolerate the salty lower portions of the Hudson, which would prevent its spread. However, the potential remains for it to thrive in the upper Hudson, which may explain a troubling decrease in younger sturgeon in the river, even as the adult population grows, because round goby feed on sturgeon eggs. The agenda lays out goals for how many acres of wetlands, intertidal habitats and other ecosystems will be restored and protected over the next five years. A blue crab management plan will be developed to ensure that the population remains sustainable, and further research will be undertaken to investigate recent declines in striped bass (diseases caused by mycobacteria appear to be responsible). Studies are planned to determine the best sites for new swimming areas and how to protect current swimming areas from the effects of climate change. Climate adaptation is needed for all communities by the river in the face of rising sea levels and increased flooding. "Homes and businesses may be abandoned due to nuisance flooding if communities do not adapt," the agenda states. New York State plans to have at least 60 percent of municipalities in the watershed complete flood-risk reduction and infrastructure-resilience projects and initiate at least five climate-adaptive shoreline projects. The agenda sets a goal of engaging at least 125,000 students, volunteers and educators in the watershed. "Time with technology is supplanting time outdoors," the report says. "Teachers must meet an increased number of new requirements, and they have limited time for adding new curricula. However, new science standards correlate well with environmental education practices."

Anya chats with Skipper Otto co-founder and CEO Sonia Strobel about local fishers, the state of the industry for small fishing families, where all the seafood is going and why it's more expensive than ever, how we can support local fishers and sustainable seafood, what needs to change in the industry, and more.

Alan Batista—a well-known striped bass angler, fishing author, and advocate from Maryland—joins the Guide Post to break down a recent run-in with enforcement that sparked serious questions about current fisheries policy. Alan was issued a ticket for allegedly targeting striped bass during a closed season despite doing nothing wrong. This episode dives deep into the reality of so-called “no-targeting” regulations: what they actually mean, how they're enforced (or not), and why they represent a dangerous precedent for recreational anglers and the future of striper conservation. With firsthand experience, Alan sheds light on the confusion and contradictions in enforcement, and ASGA breaks down why these policies fail both fish and fishermen.A must-listen for anyone who fishes for striped bass—or cares about common sense in conservation.

Ireland's largest representative body for the wind energy sector believes Clare could become a pilot area for testing floating offshore projects. It follows a proposal put forward at the Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, which focused on planning challenges in renewable energy. Clare's coast has the potential to harness roughly 70 Gigga-Watts of green electricity, however a zoning map for sites to be developed, won't be ready until the end of 2027. Responding to Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney, Wind Energy Ireland External Affairs Director Justin Moran says testing sites are needed.

In 1995, an international row broke out between Canada and Spain over fishing quotas. It started with gunfire and ended with a deal.The dispute began after Canada set up restrictions to protect fish stocks, including the turbot. A 320km (200 mile) controlled zone was placed around the country's north Atlantic coast. Fishermen also had to stick to quotas. But, according to Canada, some boats from the European Union were catching far more turbot than had been agreed. As a warning, the coastguard chased off one Spanish trawler, shooting machine gunfire over the bow and arresting the crew. But Spanish officials were furious and denied any wrongdoing. The Turbot War had begun. Brian Tobin was Canada's Minister for Fisheries and Oceans. He tells Jane Wilkinson about the part he played in the dispute.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Considering I was raised in the flatwoods of Florida, when I think of fishing in the saltwater I really don't think of anywhere else but the state I call home. However, the ocean is vast and the fisheries are connected maybe more than you realize. Some fish even migrate similar to ducks down the flyways in the fall. This week we sat down with Steve Brewster to discuss the issues fishermen are facing in North Carolina and how they are already affecting fishermen up and down the Atlantic coast, Florida included.

Wednesday, 9 July 2025   “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Matthew 11:21   “Woe, you, Chorazin! Woe, you, Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon, they occurred – the miracles, those done in you – if in sackcloth and ashes formerly they reconsidered” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus began to rebuke the cities where He did His mighty works because they did not reconsider their ways. Now, to state His displeasure at them, and to reveal to them their fate, He begins with, “Woe, you, Chorazin!”   The word ouai, woe, is introduced. It is a primary exclamation of grief. Also, the name Chorazin is first seen here. It is a city in Galilee. The origin of the name is uncertain. Studying Hebrew root words that may be connected to the Greek transliteration, Abarim defines it as possibly Smoking Furnace.   The city is about two- and one-half miles north of a location known as Tel Hum. It remains a ruin to this day. Parts of the city are identifiable, such as the synagogue. This and its houses and buildings are built from locally obtained hard black basalt. Some of the walls that remain are up to six feet high. Next, Jesus says, “Woe, you Bethsaida!”   The name is from Beith, house, and tsayad, a huntsman. Thus, it means Hunter's House. However, being by the Sea of Galilee, some think the hunting is referring to fish and call it Fisher's House. It is where Phillip, Andrew, and Peter came from as seen in John 1:44. The location is still known and visited today. Of these cities, Jesus says, “For if in Tyre and Sidon, they occurred – the miracles.”   Turos, Tyre, and Sidón, Sidon, are both first mentioned here. The Hebrew name of Tyre is Tsor. This comes from tsor, flint, or tsur, rock. Thus, it is the fortified city, Rock. Sidon is from the Hebrew tsud, to lie alongside. Therefore, it signifies to hunt, chase, etc., due to the thought of lying in wait. As such, it is a place of fishing, and it is named after those who lie alongside as they fish. Thus, Fishery is its name.   These are cities that were destroyed by the Lord's judgment. Ezekiel was told to prophesy against Tyre in Ezekiel 26. Ezekiel 27 records a lamentation over Tyre. Ezekiel 28 begins with a proclamation against the king of Tyre and then continues in lamentation over the city. That is followed by a proclamation against Sidon in Ezekiel 28:20-24.   The Lord spent a great deal of time laying out His words against them. His descriptions and judgments put them on par with Sodom and Gomorrah as far as examples of wickedness resulting in punishment. Despite that, Jesus tells Chorazin and Bethsaida that if those terrible, wicked cities saw the miracles that Jesus did, “those done in you – if in sackcloth and ashes formerly they reconsidered.”   The adverb palai, formerly, is introduced. It is believed to come from palin, again. As such, it gives the sense of retrocession. It can mean all this time, a long time ago, already, formerly, etc. Jesus is saying that in the past, when they were wickedly going about life, there would have been a change in them.   The implication here is obvious. God used three chapters of Ezekiel, plus other references to Tyre and Sidon in His word (such as Isaiah 23), to reveal their wickedness. And yet, Jesus says that the hearts of these cities were humbler than those of Chorazin and Bethsaida.   If Jesus had gone to them and done His miracles at their time of judgment, they would have done what Nineveh did, reconsidering their ways and demonstrating that change in heart by adorning themselves with sackcloth and ashes.   Both of these words are also new. The first is sakkos, coming from the Hebrew saq, a mesh. It is the course material that would be only fitting in a time of mourning. This would be contrasted to the normal garments where life was going well. The other word, spodos, is a primary word signifying ashes.   The point Jesus is making, and which He will continue to make, is that if God destroyed these cities for their wickedness, how much more do Chorazin and Bethsaida deserve to be destroyed? They have not reconsidered their ways, but God knew that the hearts of Tyre and Sidon would have.   Life application: The meaning of the story of Jonah is a story that mirrors what Jesus is saying here. This is not the usual interpretation that is provided due to translational difficulties in Jonah 4, but when it is properly understood, it is clearly seen that God is contrasting the wickedness of Israel with the wickedness of Nineveh.   Nineveh reconsidered its ways, and God relented from His judgment upon it. Israel, with much greater revelation than Nineveh, refused to reconsider and receive their Messiah. Jesus will use exactly this symbolism in Matthew 12 and Luke 11. Israel didn't pay heed, and they were destroyed and exiled.   But the great covenant-keeping nature of God has spared them for another day. He has faithfully saved them, even through judgment, to bring them into the New Covenant. If He is this faithful to Israel through a covenant cut through the blood of bulls and goats, how much more do you think He will save you through the shed blood of Jesus Christ?   We are often just as unfaithful as Israel in our hearts and actions, but if we are in Christ, He will carry us through to a good end. Be assured and reassured in this.   Lord God, thank You for Your infinite love and grace as is revealed in our Lord and Savior Jesus. Amen.

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com introduces us to Patrick Whittle, Environment and Oceanic Reporter with the Associated Press, for a conversation on how the effects of wildfire smoke affects small farmers. The wildfires in Canada sent smoke as far away as Europe, and caused smoke to linger over cities like Kansas City and Minneapolis (far, far away from their origin in Canada), raising alarms in many parts of the U.S. from an unhealthy air quality, affecting soil quality, and more. While fire can be a good thing for land as it burns off the old trash and new growth comes in, but the smoke that comes with the fire has a completely different influence. Additionally, you can hear about the mentorship with IT students and the Associated Press, like Patrick's mentee who was on the program last week, which you can hear in the episode titled, “Is Organic Still Worth It?” Next up, the discussion shifts to how fishermen are battling changing oceans after President Trump's deregulation of fishing, and persistent fears of overfishing. Will these fish docks be available for future generations to make a living? They discuss that, too. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Chris Jordan has some unwelcome news for the watershed and fisheries restoration movement. Restoring robust populations of salmonids and other fish species in degraded rivers and wetlands is much more complex than we could have ever imagined, and we've been doing it wrong for decades. Most of us, even those of us who view our fishing and our rivers as a kind of religion, don't even know what a truly healthy river looks like. But Chris also has some welcome news, though, and it's the subject of today's podcast: we know how to restore functioning watersheds for coldwater fisheries now, and it's imminently achievable. Real watershed restoration that can last and bring back healthy cold water fisheries – it's called “process-based restoration” – is the future. It's not just about removing archaic dams and putting curves and woody debris back into broken and degraded creeks. It's about beavers, muck and mire and willow thickets, floodplains and aquifers, wildfire and wetlands, gravity and shade. It is, as Chris has studied and implemented successfully for the past few decades, about “helping rivers do their jobs with a lighter hand and a larger scope” and recognizing that the messiest natural systems are the very best at producing the strongest and healthiest fisheries. Join us- 100% guaranteed, you'll see your favorite rivers and creeks in an entirely new light.   The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.

Quarter 2 Hunting, Fishing, and Conservation Policy Update – Federal Legislation, Fisheries Management & Public Lands   Narrative: In this Q2 federal policy roundup for hunters, anglers, and conservation advocates, we dive deep into the latest developments shaping the future of hunting, fishing, public lands, and forest management.   Hunting and Public Lands Policy with Taylor Schmitz First up, Director of Federal Relations Taylor Schmitz breaks down key federal policy shifts impacting sportsmen and women. From new Department of the Interior appointments to controversial proposals around public land sales, Taylor explains what these developments mean for hunting access, land conservation, and the broader outdoor community. Learn why Kate McGregor's return and Brian Nesvik's nomination matter to hunters and anglers, and why the upcoming congressional schedule is critical to follow.   Fishing and Fisheries Management with Chris Horton Next, Senior Director of Fisheries Policy Chris Horton joins to discuss top federal priorities affecting fishing and recreational anglers. He covers major legislation like the reauthorization of the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and the Marine Fisheries Habitat Protection Act, along with the impact of shifting ocean conditions and the growing need for smarter fisheries management. Chris emphasizes collaboration between federal and state agencies and encourages all anglers to stay informed and active in fishing policy debates.   Forest Management and Timber Policy with John Culclasure To close out the episode, Senior Director of Forestry Policy John Culclasure provides an update on the Fix Our Forests Act and its implications for wildlife habitat, forest access, and timber production. He highlights how responsible forest management supports both conservation and hunting opportunities, while also touching on national security concerns tied to domestic timber supply. In addition, he discusses how state-level policies are affecting access to public lands for the hunting and fishing community.   Key Takeaways for Hunters and Anglers: Federal hunting and fishing policy is being shaped by new leadership at the Department of the Interior. Congress is tackling big-ticket items like public land sales that could impact millions of acres used for hunting and fishing. Reauthorization of the Sport Fish Restoration Fund is a major win for recreational fishing and boating access. Fisheries legislation aims to protect marine habitats and support sustainable sportfishing. Forest policy reform through the Fix Our Forests Act is crucial for maintaining habitat, access, and wildlife conservation. Misinformation around forest management could threaten future access for sportsmen. Domestic timber markets face challenges that could impact long-term forest health and hunting grounds. Active engagement by the hunting and fishing community is essential to protect our outdoor heritage and public lands.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter                Sign up for FREE legislative tracking through CSF's Tracking the Capitols tool: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/tracking-the-capitols/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we chat to Honourable Shane Jones, member of the NZ government and the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Resources, Associate Minister of Finance, and Associate Minister for Energy. Shane entered Parliament in 2005 and joined New Zealand First as an MP in 2017. As a proud born and bred Northlander, Shane has always asked the tough questions, identified policy solutions, and accelerated implementation in his political life …and has been a very vocal supporter of the mining industry, including the possibility of seabed mining. He very much sees New Zealand's own natural resources as a pathway to economic prosperity, creating regional wealth and jobs.  On the podcast, we discuss what the mining industry means to NZ, the policies the government have, and are looking to implement to make the industry more attractive and why companies should invest into NZ's mining industry and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The New Zealand government, under the leadership of Shane Jones, is committed to revitalising the mining industry, reversing previous bans on oil and gas New Zealand has developed a Critical Minerals List and a mineral strategy aimed at restoring pride in the natural resources sector The introduction of Fast Track legislation aims to streamline the environmental permitting process for mining projects, allowing for quicker allocation of permits  A $200 million co-investment fund has been established to encourage both local and international investment in the mining sector, addressing concerns about potential future government changes BEST MOMENTS "I believe a lot of the climate change hysteria is actually going to wreck Western economies unless we restore some balance to it."  "We've got a kind of figurative Sahara desert of iron sands resource, largely in the ocean."  "Any economy that races ahead, demonises, cancels its fossil fuels industry without an affordable strategy... is dicing with economic calamity."  "No one enjoys a perfect history. So what we've got to do is ensure that mining as it goes forward is strongly defended."

People in Monterey protested on Wednesday evening against the deployment of military forces in Los Angeles. Plus, the Monterey Bay Fisheries Trust launches the third annual effort to get fresh local fish to food banks.

Think you know all the fish swimming in your local rivers and streams? In our lakes and reservoirs, we target bass and crappie, and in our rivers, we chase trout and catfish. But beneath the surface, a secret world of vibrant, beautiful, and "forgotten fish" is fighting for survival, and their fate is a direct indicator of the health of the waters we all love.In this episode, we sit down with Bo Baxter, the Senior Conservation Biologist at Conservation Fisheries, Inc. (CFI). Bo is on the front lines of the fight to save North America's most imperiled freshwater fish. We dive deep into a world most anglers have never seen, discussing the incredible species that form the foundation of our aquatic ecosystems.Guest Information & Resources:Guest: Bo Baxter, Senior Conservation BiologistOrganization: Conservation Fisheries, Inc.

In this second episode, Helen Avery is joined by Elizabeth Beall, Managing Director of Finance Earth to discuss supply chain models including the Fisheries Improvement Fund (FIF) and how it can be replicated and scaled. The FIF brings together actors across the entire seafood supply chain to fund the full costs of a Fishery Improvement Project or wider fishery improvements. The investment is then re-paid by a volume-based fee paid by supply chain actors.

Fallout continues from yesterday's summit and the announcement of a deal between the UK and EU – or is it fair to call it 'fallout' as, despite criticism over the deal from Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch, has the public got Brexit fatigue?  James Heale and Michael Simmons join Patrick Gibbons to talk about the reaction to the deal. Fisheries has taken up most discussion but Michael points out a lesser talked about commitment to energy policy. And, with the government keen to talk about it in tandem with recent deals with India and the US – and Gulf states soon, according to Rachel Reeves this morning – what's the political narrative around the summit? Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

In this episode of Waypoints, we return to the heart of one of the most important — and complex — conservation stories in the world of flyfishing: the state of Montana's Big Hole and the rivers of southwest Montana. Nearly two years after the New York Times released an article focusing on declining fish populations throughout the region, recent data from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks suggests that there may be signs of hope and recovery for wild trout. But with mixed messages, differing perspectives, and strong emotions still swirling throughout the guide, outfitting, and recreational angling communities, the real story is far from simple. Joined by  Jim Olsen – Fisheries Biologist for Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks in the Big Hole River basin – and by Eric Thorson – co-owner of Sunrise Fly Shop in Melrose, Montana – host Jim Klug digs into the facts, revisits the concerns, and examines what's really going on beneath the surface of these legendary waters.Why should this topic matter to anglers from outside of Montana and across the country? Because what happens in the Big Hole doesn't stay in the Big Hole. These rivers are ground zero for a larger conversation about climate change, water use, fishing pressure, wild trout resilience, and the future of angling in the American West. Whether you've fished these waters for decades, or plan to someday cast a line in Montana, this episode offers critical insight into how science, community, and conservation are colliding in real time — and what that means for the future of wild trout.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild.

O SciCast mergulhou no universo fascinante dessas espécies que encantam pessoas ao redor do mundo. No entanto, por trás dessa beleza, há um custo ecossocial significativo. A exploração desenfreada, a falta de reprodução em cativeiro e o impacto na biodiversidade são temas urgentes que precisam ser discutidos. Conversamos como a aquariofilia afeta os ecossistemas de água doce e salgada, além de explorar as condições de trabalho das comunidades envolvidas na coleta desses peixes. Além disso, discutimos o papel dos governos e o que pode ser feito para tornar essa indústria mais sustentável. Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

From acidic excrement that eats through bridge coating to nesting near roadways causing accidents, cormorants have been known to create some problems for humans here in Oregon. But for more than a decade now, researchers at Oregon State University have been using these diving birds to better understand oceans in Oregon and around the world. As recently featured in Audubon Magazine, by strapping sensors to birds, researchers are able to chart and understand data around underwater terrains, temperatures and more. Rachael Orben is an assistant professor at OSU’s Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation. Jim Lerczak is the associate dean for research and a professor at OSU’s College of Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences. They both join us to share more on what we’ve been able to learn from cormorants.
