I SUPPORT this petition. Science-based regulation is needed
 

I support this petition for common sense research and regulation of Menhaden harvest in the Chesapeake Bay. Harvest should be based off of science to determine sustainability, and the tenacity of Omega's lobbying to prevent this data from surfacing is akin to an admission of guilt to causing lasting harm to the fragile and unique ecosystems found in the Bay. For the health of these ecosystems, and for the long-term sustainability of commercial and recreational fisheries in the Chesapeake Bay, please support this request.
