Thanks for your question! Atlantic herring still live in the Gulf of Maine and while the population is highly variable, at times being overfished, recent data from the NOAA suggests it is currently stable. Today, herring are used as lobster bait, but are no longer harvested for canning and human consumption.
I love sardines. They are a very tasty and nutritional sustainable seafood. Cheers!
Even though the fisheries are gone are the sardines still in Maine waters?
