Bunker, Pogies, Menhaden. Maybe the unsexiest fish in the sea until you consider that it is quite literally the source of food for everything that swims and flies on the Atlantic Coast of North America. It also does NOTHING but swim around filtering our oceans and keeping them sparkling clean. And despite the importance of this weird cousin of the herring, bunker have been steadily declining in numbers for a long time due to overfishing and poor management. And the consequences - dirtier bays and oceans and far fewer gamefish- is the obvious result.

And if you're sitting there asking yourself why we would allow the ocean's "liver" to be systematically removed for the financial benefit of a very small group of people, then you're going to love listening to Capt. Paul Eidman, founder of Menhaden Defenders, tell us who's responsible for wiping out pogies, how we can stop them, and what the amazing results will be when we do.
