Support VA efforts for marine conservation
 

I have lived on the upper Bay ( Nanticoke) for 29 years and am very concerned about the reduction of all fisheries in the Bay.    As the "mouth" of the Bay I would encourage Virginia to take steps to reduce menhaden fisheries ( for fertilizer) and to stop winter dredging of female crabs during their winter stay at the mouth of the Bay.

Unfortunately, over the years I am disappointed with Virginia's conservation efforts, and am very concerned about the introduction of the blue catfish. 

Please encourage your conservationist to help the upper Bay
