How Blue Catfish and Snakeheads Are Threatening Chesapeake Bay with Maryland DNR Branson D. Williams

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by Branson D. Williams, Invasive Fishes Program Manager for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. A proud Eastern Shore native, Branson brings a local’s perspective on the region’s rich ecology and distinct landscape. We take a deep dive into the growing battle against invasive species—like Northern Snakehead, Blue Catfish, and more—that threaten the health of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
