Save our world class fishery!
 

I support this petition to save our fishery in the bay. Over the past several years I have seen a depreciation in the menhaden population in our bay resulting in little to no Striper moving south during the open season. All of our large gamefish need bait to survive and stay around so it’s time for regulations to be put into place before we have no fishery left for myself, my family, and future generations to enjoy.
