It is getting too late in the game of letting Virginia politics ruin our fisheries in particular the Rockfish fishery. It is obvious from the decline of the numbers of the year of the young in the past several years and the overall health of mature fish, that something has to be done now!! Menhaden are a critical food source for a number of species so when they are not a sustainable numbers within their natural environment, it affects the had health of those fish.
