Petition for rulemaking to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission regarding Atlantic menhaden, the
 

 

We need to suspend , with the idea of eliminating , large scale commercial menhaden fishing in the Mid Atlantic states most specifically in Virginia and surrounding waters. The continuation of this fishery at anywhere near to its current massive numbers Will seriously damage the forage feedstocks for the important game and commercial fish that rely on menhaden.
