Striped Bass and Striper and Rockfish, Oh My!

Striped bass are central to the culture, economy, and ecology of the Chesapeake Bay to the entire Atlantic Coast; their importance is reflected in the sheer number of monikers they have collected, from striper to rockfish. Given their regional significance, understanding their population dynamics and emerging concerns for management are crucial to protecting this iconic species for generations to come.

About CRC Roundtable

The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) comprises seven research and education institutions around the Chesapeake Bay, convening with the goal of using science to inform management. We launched the CRC Roundtable, a monthly virtual seminar series, to host targeted, inclusive, and informed conversations matching scientific advances and management needs in a way that moves us collectively forward toward decision-making for effective and sustainable management of the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and its living resources. Learn more about what we accomplished in 2025 in our annual report and watch our 50th anniversary video.

The lunchtime seminars invite a diverse range of researchers, managers, and other professionals to have timely conversations around topics relevant to the Chesapeake partnership. The seminars also build connectivity across participating organizations and identify ways to increase our collective competency for decision making.
