    • Fisheries

    • This is my first column as President of AFS, and I am honored to have the chance to serve you in this capacity. In these tumultuous times, I pledge to do all I can to keep our organization on track as an effective voice for our members and for aquatic conservation. The coronavirus pandemic has limited our ability to meet in the face‐to‐face venues that AFS normally sponsors, so AFS and various Units are doing all we can to maintain open lines of communication.

  3. Per‐and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): Anglers May Be Exposed to Harmful Chemicals in Their Catch

    • Fisheries

    • In this review, we focus on per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), synthetic compounds used for a variety of applications, including firefighting foam and manufacturing. Recently, researchers have linked human exposure to PFAS to negative health effects. Hundreds of communities are affected by PFAS contamination, which has raised awareness about the toxicity of these chemicals.

  4. Atlantic Goliath Grouper of Florida: To Fish or Not to Fish

    • Fisheries

    • The Atlantic Goliath Grouper Epinephelus itajara, a large indigenous tropical reef fish, approached local extinction in U. S. waters by the 1980s as a result of intense fishing pressure. In 1990, federal and state laws intervened to protect this species. The resulting fishery closure, over the intervening years, allowed limited, slow population recovery in Florida waters while populations outside of the United States remained vulnerable (IUCN).
