I support the petition.
 

My particular concern is overharvesting of Menhaden in the Chesapeake Bay.  Menhaden are at the bottom of the food chain for Osprey, Eagles, Stripped Bass, Dolphin and many other species, Bird, Fish and Mammal which depend on menhaden as a primary food source.   Overharvesting in the Chesapeake Bay of the Menhaden is bad for the Bay's ecology and recreational and commercial fishing.
