although it looks bad, the manhaden die off is not a big problem. it happens often in these types of coves where oxygen is normally low, especially when you are talking about as many peanuts as there are in the bay right now. the algea bloom is another story. pollution is a big problem in the upper bay. but, as the summer goes on, the manhaden will filter feed on the algea and slowly bring the oxygen levels reasonable. the manhaden serve a very valuable purpose to our waters. this should be an eye opener to many as how valuable this fish is to the cycle of life in our waters. so, fishing will be fine this year/fall.
