Menhaden purse nets damage to the Chesapeake Bay environmental system is not acceptable
 


Purse Seine Nets Too Long For Chesapeake Bay
 

Considering the average depth of our portion of the Chesapeake Bay is about 20-25 feet, the nets used to catch Menhaden are damaging the grasses and therefore the health of Our Bay!  Please restrict the length and use of these nets.

Thank You, 

Murphy Sprinkel
