No Turtle Excluders Needed!
 

I am speaking for a large number of watermen in the Northern Neck of Virginia. We do not support this petition! The use of turtle excluders as described will only exclude Blue Crabs from the pots, and will be a serious hardship for watermen. We do not see turtles in our pots, so we don't need these excluders to restrict Blue Crabs from being harvested. Thank you.
