Reduction fishing in Chesapeake Bay
 

The reduction fishery needs to eliminated or greatly curtailed in the Chesapeake Bay and within 3mi of the shore. To start there should be a 3yr moratorium on the fishery w/in those same waters. That would provide time to allow the Bay to start rebalancing and recovering. Omega can continue to fish out past the 3mi line as they currently do when they have depleted the stock in the Bay.
