The Chesapeake Bay Region is set to receive several million dollars in support from USDA. It will help manage invasive catfish while making good use of those pests.
Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins has committed $6 million in grants to expand seafood processing and target invasive wild-caught catfish. USDA will work with Maryland’s ag department to launch a $2 million pilot program that will put those catfish into local food banks.
Rollins says the move is a win for fishermen, local economies, and families in need.
