I support the petition. It is alarming to learn that osprey are starving and striped bass are in serious decline due to menhaden reduction fishing. Research by the Center for Conservation Biology at William & Mary found that osprey population viability requires that menhaden stock be restored to 1980's levels. Our Commonwealth is the only state on the Atlantic coast to allow Industrial Reduction Fishing. Virginia resources should be protected. Reduction fishing can be moved to federal waters.
