Please stop illegal seine netting
 

Menhaden are such a huge part of the ecosystem.As we know, it is a huge part of the not only striped bass diet but tuna, bluefish, flounder, sharks,  and Osprey to name a few. I believe the menhaden are over fished but illegal nets are unacceptable. The nets do not discern between menhaden and anything else in its grasp. Please stop the illegal netting.
