From red snapper seasons to wildfire policy, federal action is reshaping opportunities for sportsmen nationwide. Federal policy is moving fast, and the decisions being made in Washington could have a direct impact on hunting, fishing, wildlife habitat, and access for sportsmen across the country. Chris Horton, Alex Dove, and Kent Keene break down a packed third quarter for the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, covering major developments in fisheries policy, conservation, working lands, and federal forest management. Horton details the progress of MAPOceans, the Marine Fisheries Habitat Protection Act, cormorant management, salmon predation, and a new executive order focused on recreational saltwater fishing, fisheries data, habitat, and electronic reporting. The conversation also covers the South Atlantic red snapper season and new state-led data collection efforts that could influence future fisheries management. Dove explains where the Farm Bill stands, along with wildlife corridors, elk habitat, gray wolf management, and the challenges facing bipartisan legislation with a shrinking legislative calendar. Keene takes a deep dive into wildfire policy, prescribed fire, active forest management, timber markets, biofuel production, and efforts to prevent federal fire suppression costs from undermining long-term wildlife habitat work. For hunters, anglers, and anyone invested in healthy public lands and waters, this is an inside look at the policies shaping the seasons and opportunities ahead.

Episode Summary Tuna is far more than a familiar item on supermarket shelves or a staple of sushi menus. More than five million metric tons of tuna are caught each year, supporting a global supply chain valued at more than $40 billion and providing food and economic security for millions of people. The fishery is particularly important to small island nations, where tuna-related income can account for a significant share of domestic revenues. But getting tuna from ocean to consumer involves an intricate global network of fishing fleets, processing facilities, exporters, importers and markets. Different tuna species also serve distinct markets, from canned skipjack and albacore to high-value bluefin destined for fresh and premium markets. Because tunas migrate across national boundaries and entire ocean regions, managing them sustainably requires countries to coordinate through regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs). The conversation examines how these organizations make decisions, why consensus can be difficult, and how harvest strategies are changing the approach to fisheries management. The recovery of southern bluefin tuna demonstrates the potential of a long-term, pre-agreed management framework: after the stock had been severely depleted, its biomass quadrupled by 2020, ultimately contributing to its removal from the critically endangered list and the fishery achieving MSC certification. With all tuna RFMOs committed to implementing harvest strategies but only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks having adopted them, initiatives such as All Tunas 2028 are focused on accelerating progress while encouraging seafood companies, governments, scientists and other stakeholders to become more engaged in fisheries decision-making. Featured Guests Katy Hladki — Senior Officer, International Fisheries Team — The Pew Charitable Trusts Key Topics Covered The global economic, social and nutritional importance of tuna fisheries The complex journey of tuna from fishing vessels to processing facilities and consumer markets Major commercially harvested tuna species, including skipjack, albacore, yellowfin, bigeye and bluefin How regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) coordinate tuna management across international waters The challenges of reaching consensus among countries and stakeholders with different interests Harvest strategies as a science-based, pre-agreed framework for long-term fisheries management The recovery of southern bluefin tuna and what its management history demonstrates Why only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks currently have established harvest strategies The role of seafood companies, retailers, wholesalers and distributors in tuna fisheries advocacy The All Tunas 2028 initiative and its goal of advancing harvest strategies across tuna fisheries The importance of transparent fisheries data, independent vessel monitoring and stronger compliance The potential impacts of climate and environmental change on fisheries management Key Takeaways Tuna is a globally significant resource. More than five million metric tons are harvested annually, supporting a supply chain worth more than $40 billion and contributing to food and economic security around the world. International cooperation is essential. Because tuna are highly migratory and can be harvested by vessels from many different countries, effective management requires coordination through RFMOs. Harvest strategies can provide greater predictability. By establishing management rules and objectives in advance, harvest strategies can reduce uncertainty and help balance long-term sustainability with economic needs. Southern bluefin tuna demonstrates what effective management can accomplish. After severe depletion, the stock's biomass quadrupled by 2020 under a harvest strategy, and the species was subsequently removed from the critically endangered list. Progress is happening, but adoption remains incomplete. All tuna RFMOs have committed to implementing harvest strategies, yet only 10 of 23 commercially harvested tuna stocks had adopted them at the time of the conversation. Seafood businesses have a role beyond purchasing seafood. Retailers, wholesalers, distributors and other companies can engage directly in fisheries policy discussions and advocate for management decisions that protect long-term supply. Better data and monitoring are critical. Transparent fisheries information, independent vessel monitoring and strong compliance systems can improve both management decisions and confidence in their implementation. The future of tuna depends on broad engagement. Governments, fisheries managers, fishers, scientists, seafood companies and consumers all have a role in supporting healthy tuna populations and resilient seafood systems.

Ed Metcalf is from Winthrop, Massachusetts, on the north side of Boston Harbor. He served as a police officer in Winthrop, and he then worked for the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. He became the game warden on Nantucket, Massachusetts, in 1974, and he still lives there today. Born in 1933, his memories reach back to the late 1930s. Some of his visits to the harbor islands were guided by the popular historian and author Edward Rowe Snow. He also frequented lighthouses in the harbor in the 1950s and ’60s, including Deer Island Light and Graves Light. He often brought newspapers, fish, and other things to the keepers. Deer Island, which is attached to Winthrop, was also home to a prison for many years. Ed also remembers visits to the range lights at Spectacle Island in the inner harbor before they were demolished in the 1950s. 

Safari Club International Liaison (and South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment alum) Mpho Tjiane, based out of Jo-Burg, South Africa, joins Robbie to talk about recent news in CITES quotas for South Africa. South Africa released their 2026-2027 export quota this week, and Mpho dove into what that means for hunting and conservation. Mpho is the perfect person to explain this, including the context of how we got here because he was in the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and Environment, as the CITES lead when the quotas were pulled and the litigation occurred.

MRIP recalibration is approaching its peak. Now, data revisions show the recreational fishery has been far more overestimated than managers admitted, and the ripple effects reach far beyond one chart. They will reshape the entire future of striped bass management.

In this episode of SilviCast, we talk with regeneration experts Mike Reinikainen, Roger Bohringer, and Tom Hill about direct seeding—a challenging and often misunderstood approach to reforestation that establishes forests by planting seeds rather than seedlings. Direct seeding can be an economical and effective way to establish new forests, but success depends on getting the details right. We explore seed rates and timing, site preparation, planting depth, and the challenges of seed predation and seed procurement. Because little has been written about the practical application of direct seeding, success requires careful planning, patience, and diligence—as well as a willingness to experiment, observe, and learn from what happens on the ground.GUESTS ON THIS EPISODERoger BohringerAssistant Manager, Wilson State Nursery at WI DNRRoger Bohringer is the Assistant Nursery Manager, tasked with managing the day to day operations at Wilson State Nursery in Boscobel, Wisconsin.  Prior to his current duties, he spent several summers in the field all across Wisconsin, looking at new plantings as part of the program's reforestation monitoring efforts. Roger grew up in the southwest Wisconsin town of Cassville, a two minute walk away from the mighty Mississippi River, and earned a degree in field biology from UW-Platteville in 1992.  After graduation he did various LTE stints in Fisheries and Wildlife before falling into Forestry fulltime when he accepted a technician job at Wilson Nursery in the fall of 1998.  It was a good fit, and he's been there ever since.Tom HillConsulting ForesterTom Hill is a consulting forester based in Southwest Wisconsin, where he's spent his career helping landowners understand and care for their woods.

A landmark court ruling could reshape fisheries management and strengthen sportsmen's rights nationwide. The Sportsmen's Voice Roundup looks at a major North Carolina fisheries ruling with implications well beyond the coast. After a six-year lawsuit brought by the Coastal Conservation Association of North Carolina and 86 citizen plaintiffs, a state Superior Court upheld findings that North Carolina failed to meet its obligations under the Public Trust Doctrine. The ruling is significant for anglers because it directly connects fisheries management to North Carolina's constitutional right to hunt and fish. Connor Barker explains what the 190-page court order found, why the evidence surrounding declining fish stocks was so compelling, and what happens next as the case moves toward remediation. The conversation also examines industrial shrimp trawling in sounds and estuaries, the effects of destructive fishing practices on fish nurseries and bycatch, and the broader implications for fisheries conservation. Beyond North Carolina, the discussion explores how constitutional right to hunt and fish amendments have been tested in other states, including Nebraska, and why carefully crafted constitutional language can matter when wildlife and fisheries management decisions reach the courts. The episode also covers National Shooting Sports Month, early small-game and bear seasons in the Northeast, chronic wasting disease resources for deer hunters, and proposed 2027–2029 hunting regulations in Washington.

Major changes to the laws governing fisheries - covering how much can be caught, what can be caught, and who is able to have input into those decisions - have been paused until after the election after a swell of public criticism. Sealord CEO Doug Paulin spoke to John Campbell about the debate behind sustainable fishing practices.

The Menhaden fight grows louder, but unfortunately for the resource, the discussions grow murkier. A massive error in the stock assessment has changed the entire management picture. In this episode, Tony Friedrich, Mario Campo and Jake Hardy break down why the Bay Cap, the coastwide TAC, and the push for reallocation all demand your nuanced attention right now if you care about forage fish, stripers, ospreys, whales, or the future of the fishery. In episode 220, we break down how a corrected natural mortality estimate from a 1960s tagging study helped expose an overharvest problem that has quietly added up to hundreds of millions of pounds. This episode translates the mortality math into plain English and explains why the current management response is still not enough. With additional biological and policy context, it's hard to deny why a coastal stock issue cannot be solved by shuffling quota from one region to another.

This episode is sponsored by WildTechDNA: https://wildtechdna.com Episode Summary As aquaculture continues to expand its role in global food production, public understanding of farmed seafood often struggles to keep pace. Misconceptions, outdated narratives, and the rapid spread of information across social media have created new challenges for producers, researchers, and seafood organizations seeking to build trust with consumers. Effective communication has become an essential part of responsible seafood production, requiring more than facts alone—it requires stories that connect people with the individuals and communities behind the industry. James Sibley has built one of the world's largest aquaculture-focused audiences by documenting seafood production firsthand across multiple continents. Drawing from experiences on more than 150 farms, he discusses why authentic storytelling resonates across diverse audiences, how transparency strengthens social license, and why seafood producers have an opportunity to become their own advocates online. The conversation also examines the growing influence of AI-generated content, the importance of consistency in digital communication, and practical ways the seafood industry can better engage consumers through genuine human stories. Featured Guests James Sibley Founder, Content Creator SibleyAqua Key Topics Covered Building a global career in aquaculture media and digital storytelling Why social media now shapes public perception of farmed seafood Communicating complex aquaculture topics without technical jargon The value of authentic, on-farm storytelling for consumer education How misinformation influences social license and industry reputation Lessons learned from filming aquaculture operations in 14 countries The opportunities and risks of AI-generated content in seafood communications Why seafood producers should invest in consistent digital storytelling Connecting consumers with the people behind seafood production Creating educational content that serves both industry professionals and newcomers Key Takeaways Authentic storytelling creates stronger public trust than polished marketing alone. Social media has become one of the seafood industry's most influential communication channels. Showing real people and real production practices helps close the knowledge gap around aquaculture. Consistency matters more than perfection when building an online audience. Transparency and curiosity encourage constructive conversations instead of confrontation. Human stories often resonate more deeply than technical explanations. Investing in communication is increasingly important for maintaining social license.

Have you ever heard of a June Hog?? June Hogs were legendary, gigantic summer run Chinook salmon that could weigh up to 100 pounds on their way up the Columbia river. These days, the average Chinook caught on the Columbia weighs between 10 and 20 pounds.  So what happened to these giants?You may be familiar with some of the reasons: dams, overfishing, habitat destruction, climate change, and hatchery fish. But what about where the fish are caught?I'm joined today by Misty MacDuffee of Raincoat Conservation Foundation and Nick Gayeski with the Wild Fish Conservancy to talk about new research of theirs examining the effects of ocean based fishing on Chinook size and populations.Please take just a minute and leave us a rating and review, and share this show with a friend or two!  Thank you :)Show Notes:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-49054-5https://www.raincoast.org/2026/06/how-harvesting-chinook-shrink-size-106500/https://www.newsdata.com/clearing_up/environment/study-ocean-fishing-reduces-chinook-size-sustainability/article_024b1c2a-83d0-4a53-908d-559d08b5d2fb.htmlhttps://wildfishconservancy.org/staff/dr-nick-gayeski/https://www.raincoast.org/team/misty-macduffee/https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/

(Linda Shaw / NOAA Fisheries) Invasive European green crabs have swelled in population across southern Southeast Alaska since they were first detected in the region four years ago. In response, Ketchikan, Alaska's local tribe recently petitioned the state to open a green crab sport fishery to help manage the invasive's spread. The request was denied, citing a lack of evidence that the invasive species has contributed to environmental changes. KRBD's Hunter Morrison reports. The Ketchikan Indian Community submitted the emergency petition to the state's Board of Fisheries in March, asking to reclassify European green crabs from a Class A to a Class B banned invasive species. This change would allow anybody to transport dead European green crabs for harvest or consumption. Currently, the invasive can only be possessed or transported for scientific or educational purposes by those with a special Aquatic Resource Permit. Emily Halsell is a fisheries and wildlife biologist with Ketchikan's tribal government. “This isn’t an issue that’s going anywhere, and it seems to be largely ignored throughout much of the state.” The tribe has removed about 1,500 green crabs from Ketchikan beaches so far this year. In its petition to the state, the tribe cites the species' damaging impacts to the local ecosystem and economy. The adaptive critter can burrow and destroy eelgrass beds, which are nurseries for native species like Dungeness crabs and juvenile salmon. “So when these crabs come up and they tear up this critical marine habitat, there’s cascading population effects.” The species was first detected in Alaska in 2022 on Annette Island, south of Ketchikan. They have since reached about 70 miles north. And the number of green crabs detected has increased. Halsell says they can reproduce two or three times a year, and can lay up to 180,000 eggs each time. Halsell believes a change in how the crab is classified in Alaska, and opening a sport fishery for them, could help better manage their spread. Alaska Fish and Game Commissioner Doug Vincent-Lang, who denied the petition, says the state is determining how to best manage the invasive. A letter from his office states a lack of evidence that the invasive has contributed to changes in eelgrass habitat or caused changes in fishery populations. “I'm not opposed to the concept. I just think it needs to be fleshed out a little bit more, and I think it needs to be, you know, what does a fishery look like? What are the gear types that would be allowed, and what would happen with incidental harvests?” Halsell believes green crab management efforts need to be addressed sooner than that.

Suzanne Potter has the story. Protection of public lands is a top issue for a large majority of Nevada voters, according to a new report from the Center for Western Priorities. Researchers aggregated multiple polls and found that most voters oppose the sale of public land and the rollback of environmental protections. The center's executive director, Aaron Weiss, points to the Colorado College Conservation in the West poll, which found that 82% of Nevada voters oppose the Trump administration's funding cuts to agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service. “Western voters see public lands, waters, and wildlife as a motivating factor in how they vote and is worth everyone across the political spectrum keeping in mind as we head into this election season.” Last year, proposals from U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) and U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) to sell off public lands were abandoned after they drew a big backlash. Environmental advocates say the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act of 1998 is a better model, because it established a process to identify land suitable for development while giving permanent protection to hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. Weiss says the feds have now thrown their support behind the data center boom. “We see them rushing to try to hand over public lands to build data centers over the objection of local and neighboring communities. The way that this process played out near Boulder City exemplifies that.” Recently, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum slashed the boundaries of two national monuments in Utah. Conservation groups are also concerned that the feds will target other national monuments next, including Gold Butte outside of Las Vegas. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.
