It is unconscionable, and the face of raptor die offs and fish declines, to continue to ignore the need to study what is going on with the menhaden fishery in the bay. The natural resources of Virginia are important to the entire citizenry, and should not be monopolized by a single entity. To remove resources from the bay for fertilizer and feed without concern for the rest of the ecosystem is beneath the high standards set for the bay and the natural resources of Virginia. Fund the science.
