    Ospreys in Crisis: Chesapeake Bay Lessons, Long Island Sound Stakes, and the Menhaden Connection 

    Jacob Steinberg, Director & Cinematographer CosmoVision Media Group, Inc. 

    In the Chesapeake Bay, ospreys are experiencing widespread reproductive failure—an urgent warning from a coastal sentinel species. This lecture explores the emerging links between osprey decline, forage fish availability, and the industrial harvest of Atlantic menhaden, and explains why preventing similar impacts in Long Island Sound requires action now. The talk previews the forthcoming documentary The Most Important Fish in the Sea and introduces a new prey-based study Connecticut Audubon has agreed to launch to monitor risk closer to home.
