Gear reform for commercial harvest of Menhaden
 

Hello,

I would like to show my support for gear reform for the commercial harvest of menhaden. It is a common understanding that the mass harvesting of this food source already greatly impacts striped bass and other species of fish. Why continue to hurt populations by not only taking their food source but killing them in the act. Please find a more sustainable practice.

Sincerely,

Michael Leibin
