I support the ban of Menhaden harvesting in the bay
 

I high recommend banning the harvesting of Menhaden in the Chesapeake. The bay is a nursery for Strip bass and many other species. The size of Strip bass is very thin during the summer months because of lost of bait fish. There is plenty of menhaden in the ocean. the Chesapeake is the only place this harvesting takes place on the Atlantic coast. 

Omega is a Canadian company and should fish only in international waters. Omega oil products are snake oil and it's benefits have been shown by recent scientifjc studies to be negligible.
