industrial fishing of menhaden
 

Please enact tighter regulations on industrial fishing of menhaden in the VA Chesapeake Bay.  Current regulations are having wide deleterious effects on the biodiversity both in and around the Bay.  Our responsibility is to be the caretakers of this precious natural resource and we should not provide advantage to the few who are exploiting it in their own interest.  We cannot allow our biodiversity in and around the Bay to be irretrievably diminished and/or destroyed.  Your help is needed and will be appreciated.
