I support the petition
 

I support the petition. It is important to control menhaden fishing in order to maintain the population of the fish in the Chesapeake Bay for commercial and environmental reasons. Overfishing, which is occurring now, will not help anyone, including the fishing industry itself. And overfishing is detrimental to the wildlife on the Bay and to the habitat of the Bay so it should be controlled to protect the Bay now and for the future.
