I agree with this petition
 

Purse seine fishing needs to be regulated at a minimum. The effects on the entire ecosystem are catastrophic, especially when used for reduction fishing of Menhaden. Please look at the results of local ecological and biological studies around the Chesapeake rather than basing decisions on the menhaden population across the entire eastern seaboard. 
Thank you for your consideration.
