Ban Reduction Fishing in the Bay
 

As a former guide, veteran and lifelong resident of the Tidewater area, I have watched the health of the bay decline precipitously. We recreational anglers have agreed to and abided by increasingly strict limits to curtail this; meanwhile, Omega continues to exceed the minimally restrictive quotas set for them. The Chesapeake Bay is a beautifully unique ecosystem, which can be found nowhere else on earth. It is worth so much more than maintaining a few dozen low paying jobs in Reedville that answer to a foreign company with a decades long rap sheet of environmental offenses. Hold Omega accountable.
