Governor Wes Moore is calling on the federal government for help in dealing with an invasive species that’s threatening the Chesapeake Bay. The governor is requesting what’s called a Federal Fishery Disaster Declaration to help in the battle against the blue catfish, including snakehead and flathead catfish. The declaration would qualify Maryland for federal aid. According to state data, the amount of the total catch of Maryland’s commercial fishery species that share their habitat with invasive species has fallen by up to 91 percent over the last decade.
