Move all factory fishing out of Va waters
 

Stop immediately the ridiculous waste of 51,000 tons of menhand forage you allow by giving it to an unappreciative arrogant Canadian fishing company. my children are old enough that they have seen what great fish and wildlife resources the Chesapeake Bay had only to have their fish and wildlife slip away and disappear in the last 10 years due to the over harvesting of menhaden in Chesapeake Bay and on the Va coast. Let the industrial fishing just fish in the US ocean zone….This should bring additional spending for expenses by the reduction fishery in.Virginia. it should not result in the loss of 1 ton of quota or one job in Reedville ….If they have to fish more in the ocean, it should increase jobs. Any extra expenses can be taken out of the $37 million worth of menhaden given  to this ungrateful company every year. coach Whether it increases jobs or not in Reedville ….any jobs lost will be replaced by the tens of thousands of jobs improved fishing and wildlife watching that will be created in Virginia.
