Purse seine net limits in Virginia waters
 

Restrictions need to be put in place AND enforced in order to prevent the ongoing destruction of the Eel Grasses on the Chesapeake Bay. These grasses are a vital part of the Bay's ecosystem as they provide a nursery and essential habitat for marine life. The ecosystem of  Virginia's Chesapeake Bay and Virginia's ocean are being impacted by this continual practice.
