Charlie Witek debunks some wishful thinking around striped bass.

It’s a refrain I’ve heard more over the past year: “Yes, striped bass recruitment in the Chesapeake Bay might be tanking, but as the climate gets warmer, the Hudson River is taking up the slack.”

It’s such a nice theory that it’s almost too bad that it’s wrong. But facts must be given their due.
