I believe the menhaden fishery should be reduced by at least 60% in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. In addition, I believe the vessels in the menhaden fishery need to be more strictly monitored and that the regulations be more strictly enforced in order to ensure the live return of by-catch to the waters. 

Furthermore, I believe that the vessels in the menhaden fishery should be required to document 100% of by-catch that is killed and publicly post the mortality totals, annually.
