Striped bass face collapse on East Coast after 8 years of poor spawning

Scientists identify multiple overlapping causes of decline beyond overfishing

Researchers point to warming waters, poor river flow, drought, pollution, and increased predation from seals and sharks as compounding factors. Environmental conditions—particularly cool, wet springs needed for spawning—have been deteriorating since 2019, with the Chesapeake Bay (90% of striper spawning ground) especially affected by low precipitation and rapid water warming.
