We need this study to help determine menhaden numbers in the Bay!
 

Without this study, we won’t know if menhaden are being overfished until it is too late. It could already be too late!  Both the VIMS Fisheries expert & Dr. Brian Watts Agree that we need more information to make an informed decision.  I am very concerned about all of the Fish, Mammals, and birds that feed on Menhaden in the Bay.  Please fund this study!
