I love this writer! I love the long list of things we can do that she gives us at the end. And I love that I find out about the hundreds of thousands more whales that exist on Earth because people are correcting past mistakes and saving a little fish with an odd name, Menhaden. Save the Menhaden!
It's so helpful to see you come in tight on the ties between commercial fishing regulations and whale populations. Some of the data is deeply cheering. (BTW: I'm a born New Yorker and I have never heard of menhaden, but I do know pogies!) I love how you tackle headline writing too in all its many vagaries...
As someone who considers himself well-informed about ocean issues, I did not know about and am glad to read of a conservation program that has worked marvelously to the benefit of these creatures that are more than likely - smarter than we are.
Furthermore, I am dumbfounded by the fact that “menhaden” is not used here as a double entendre for Manhattan. … Thank you.

A beta reader told me I had to add "pogies" in there. I'd never heard of "menhaden" until a few years ago.👍
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this. Thanks for the info - I will definitely share.
I remember the old fish factory in Promised Land, located between Amagansett and Montauk on the East End of Long Island. Once, it was a thriving facility for processing bunkers for meal and oil. https://eastendthen.wordpress.com/2017/01/14/smith-meal-company-promised-land/
