The Virginia Osprey Foundation Advocacy Page

TAKE ACTION NOW FOR OUR CHESAPEAKE BAY AND ITS TRIBUTARIES! OUR OSPREY NEED US TO SPEAK OUT FOR THEIR SURVIVAL!

Your voice matters! Contact your federal and state legislators!

Contact state and regional agencies BELOW!

Express your concerns about industrial fishing and the health of our bay’s ecosystem. Below you will find links to organizations that currently manage the Chesapeake Bay and our fisheries.

Year after year our osprey chicks die of starvation.

This is NOT acceptable. Menhaden, a nutrient rich forage fish that Osprey depend on,

is being taken by Industry. Act NOW! #saveourosprey

Virginia Governor Spanberger needs to hear our voice!
Please urge her to appoint conservation-minded leaders to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. Share your concerns about the severe depletion of Atlantic Menhaden in the Chesapeake Bay and emphasize the critical role this forage fish plays—not just for our Osprey, but for countless species that depend on a healthy Bay ecosystem. Your voice can help protect the Bay’s wildlife and restore balance to our waters. #saveourosprey
