S/V SeaSprite 3rd Annual Memorial Day Weekend Chesapeake Bay Cruise
In what has now become quite an annual tradition, S/V SeaSprite sallied forth over the Memorial Day Weekend for some great sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. Casting off from Regent Point Marina Friday afternoon, the crew headed out into a stiff southeasterly 19-22 knot breeze and punchy surf, making great time to Sandy Point on the Great Wicomico River. The next morning we sailed off the hook and out of the Great Wicomico to find near perfect conditions on the Bay. Close hauled and averaging more than 7 knots into a steady 16-17 knot breeze we shot across the Bay making good enough southerly progress to allow a single tack and an even faster leg straight into Fleets Bay. Reaching the mouth of Indian Creek we still had the wind on our aft port quarter and so we sailed all the way up the Creek to our destination, the Chesapeake Boat Basin, only turning on the motor to maneuver into the slip. This marina enjoys a beautiful location and the management were very hospitable. We were lucky enough to join their annual Memorial Day Weekend BBQ. The weather remained beautiful until about the time we cast off around 10:30 Sunday morning and by the time we reached the Bay the sky was completely overcast and a steady rain was falling. The final day's sail was a wet, 4 knot ghost up the Rappahannock to Locklies Creek and S/V SeaSprite's home slip at Regent Point.

Life cycle of the Atlantic Menhaden
Atlantic menhaden can spawn year round in inshore waters off the Atlantic coast, with the highest spawning rates near North Carolina in the late fall.
The eggs hatch in the open ocean and the larvae drift to sheltered estuaries via ocean currents. The young spend a year developing in these estuaries before returning to the open ocean.
At this early stage, they are commonly known as peanut bunker. The Atlantic menhaden usually do not become sexually mature until the end of their second year, after which they reproduce until death.
A young, sexually mature female can produce roughly 38,000 eggs, while a fully mature female can produce upwards of 362,000. Eggs are buoyant and hatch within 2 to 3 days depending on the temperature. The larvae will spend 1 to 3 months in waters over the continental shelf.
The Chesapeake Bay is a popular nursery for juvenile menhaden. Larval fish will enter the Bay in late winter and early summer. The larval fish will move into lower salinity waters in estuarine tributaries while juvenile and immature fish remain in the Bay until the fall.
Ecology
Menhaden are omnivorous filter feeders, feeding by straining food particles from water. They travel in large, slow-moving, and tightly packed schools with open mouths. Filter feeders typically take into their open mouths materials in the same proportions as they occur in ambient waters.
Menhaden primarily eat phytoplankton (microscopic plants); although, since they are omnivorous, they take in a small portion of zooplankton (microscopic animals).
Even though most other related fish (in the family Clupeidae) eat zooplankton, Menhaden primarily consume phytoplankton, that is, algae and other drifting bits of vegetable matter. The ecological significance of this difference can hardly be overstated.
Management and overfishing
According to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, the overall Atlantic coast stock of menhaden is robust as of 2006. However, according to Paul Greenberg, who has called for a ban on fishing menhaden in US federal waters and the Chesapeake bay, the continued overfishing of menhaden (especially by Omega Proteins) is having detrimental effects on the population, which in turn is affecting populations of fish and birds that feed on menhaden and especially on water quality:
The muddy brown color of the Long Island Sound and the growing dead zones in the Chesapeake Bay are the direct result of inadequate water filtration — a job that was once carried out by menhaden. An adult menhaden can rid four to six gallons of water of algae in a minute.
Imagine then the water-cleaning capacity of the half-billion menhaden we reduce into oil every year. There is increasing concern, especially from recreational fisherman and conservationists, that the Chesapeake Bay's population is declining significantly.
This concern is shared by anglers from Maine to Florida who have watched this vital forage fish species vanish from its upper and lower ranges. Grassroots efforts by conservation minded fisherman like Menhaden Defenders are working hard to unite anglers and to get the word out about rebuilding the Atlantic Menhaden stock levels which is currently at its lowest point in history.
Currently, non sustainable methods of fishing continue on an industrial scale, using spotter planes to target older, oil rich menhaden, and direct enormous refrigerated seawater vessels to the fish.
Small net boats then circle the purse seine net around the giant schools and the ship vacuum pumps them aboard. The ASMFC has determined that this fishery has been overfishing for 52 out of the past 54 years.
Fisheries-independent data from seine surveys in Maryland and Virginia through 2004 suggested that menhaden recruitment—the number of juveniles that grow to a catchable size—was possibly declining in the Bay. Coast-wide recruitment is considered to be at median historic levels.
The exact causes of the decline in recruitment remain unknown. While additional scientific knowledge is necessary to understand the variability of menhaden recruitment, scientists have cited several possible contributing factors, including:
- Heavy fishing on the adult menhaden stock.
- Possible increases in mortality by predators.
- Changing environmental conditions, such as climate change or poor water quality, in menhaden nursery areas.
Menhaden have been called 'the most important fish in the sea'. H. Bruce Franklin's most recent book, The Most Important Fish in the Sea: Menhaden and America is an interdisciplinary study of the role of menhaden in American environmental, economic, social, political, and cultural history from the seventeenth into the twenty-first centuries.

This Cozy NYC Fishing Town is a Seafood Mecca || Food/Groups
Since its earliest days, New York City has had a special relationship with the water, amassing great wealth as a major port, and drawing its cultural identity, in no small part, from the waves of immigrants that arrived by boat on its shores.
But while most of NYC has given up its seafaring ways, the city's maritime heritage is still alive and well on City Island. With its quiet streets, plentiful boat slips, and nautical vibes, this 1.5mi strip of land in the Eastchester Bay feels more like a mid-century fishing village than an extension of the Bronx (which it is).
On this episode of Food/Groups, we met up with a couple City Island clam diggers (i.e., natives; transplants are known as mussel-suckers), to eat its famous seafood feasts, grab a couple drinks, and discuss the importance of a robust culinary scene in New York City's most unchanged -- and improbable -- nautical neighborhood.
