Bottom dragging is bad for the bay
 

In my 77 years I can’t believe the selfish destruction that continues by commercial and industrial harvesting of our fish, wildlife and environment.

Let’s wake up and stop destructive practices even before they become regulated. Why do we need to pass laws and regulations for every activity when responsible stewardship should be sufficient. I had to reinvent or repurpose myself several times in my lifetime. I’m sorry but commercial fishing should have to do the same.  

Let’s stop menhaden fishing in Chesapeake Bay or at least stop destructive environmental harm.
