Agree with petition, Purse Seine Nets should be regulated.
 

Purse seine net depths should be regulated so there is not contact with the sea floor. Furthermore, purse seine catching should be ouside of state waters. The ships used to operate the nets are too large for the Chesapeake bay and damage the habitat and make unsafe conditions for other boaters.
