Support petition to regulate Menheden fishing in our bay
 

I have experienced the dead fish washing up on our beach and excessive piles of sea grass. I now understand what is causing these problems. I have great sympathy for the local sports fishermen and wildlife which are impacted by Omega's overfishing Menhaden and scraping the seabed. Their methods should not be allowed in the bay. I am distraught every day I look out from my porch and see those huge trawlers just off Vaucluse.
