I do not support this atrocity. There’s zero data in regard to turtle populations being low that correlate to commercial crab pots. Chances are recreational crab pots have a higher probability on catching a turtle than a commercial waterman, based on the location alone. Theres literally thousands of docks with recreational crab pots hanging off of them all summer long. There’s  no justification that should allow this to even be presented. I would also like to say the Governor of Virginia directly asked for a 25 percent reduction of regulations when he took office. This would just be another compounding layer put on working class people.
