Government Accountability Needed on Menhaden Issue
 

I support this petition as it represents a vital measure for the preservation of the Chesapeake Bay's marine environment. The call for a moratorium on purse seine landings highlights the urgent need for government intervention and accountability in addressing the overfishing crisis, which has far-reaching consequences for biodiversity and local economies. By endorsing these actions, the government can showcase its dedication to environmental protection and sustainable resource management, thereby safeguarding the bay for future generations.
