DEC says its latest survey found young striped bass numbers well below average, raising concerns about future fishing seasons.

DEC Commissioner Sean Mahar said the findings mean the state needs to stay heavily involved in interstate fishery management

Because of the decline here and similar problems in the Chesapeake Bay, state officials helped launch a new interstate working group to plan how striped bass will be managed in the coming decades.

DEC warns if the trend continues, anglers could start seeing fewer catchable fish by the 2030s.
