Support Petition
 

I support the Petition

I support the recommendations

My particular concern is the destruction of the bottom of the bay and the decimation of suitable fish for the osprey and other birds and  mammals and fish who depend on the menhaden as a primary source of food.

I live in Vaucluse Shores on the bay at Church Neck and Hungar's Creek.  I am also concerned about the recent fish kills washing up on our beaches not because of the smell but because of the wastefulness of it all.  Shame on Omega and shame on the VMRC to allow this to happen only to line their pockets.  Start listening to the people and not the ones making the money.
