I support this petition. Reductions and restrictions are needed to protect this fishery.
 

Not long ago these purse nets were prohibited from fishing in the bay.  That type of restriction is needed now, to improve the overall health that the menhaden fishery supports. Time is now and not when the fishery is decimated.
