We must stop depleting the bay of the foundation of the food chain
 
· I support the petition.
· I support the recommendations.
-My concern is that one small Canadian company is being given permission to decimate the base of the food chain of all gamefish species in the Chesapeake. The financial benefits to one small NON AMERICAN company should not be allowed to so negatively impact our recreational and commercial fishing industries. Nor should that company's profits be more important than preserving the ecology of our beautiful Chesapeake. Purse seining Menhaden should be banned permanently.
