Petition 392
 

Just wanted to comment on the continued legal destruction you allow on the Chesapeake Bay. I am of course referring to the destructive harvest of Menhaden, specifically the use of Purse Seines witch drag the bottom. So now its not just the slaughter of the key element of the food chain, it's also the destruction of the bottom. This includes important grasses and the degrading of the actual water quality. Not to mention the by-catch slaughter. Stop bowing to industry and stand up for the Bay

 

Thank-you

George Acord jr.
