This petition is anything but fair and equitable based on its unreasonable and one sided demands. This temporary moratorium will end up being permanent because the VMRC’s “best available science “, will not be able to produce a trustworthy study that can be accurate on all these metrics that they will try to measure. Therefore, the ruling will favor the agenda of this petitioner, and not the menhaden fishery. Let’s make it fair. If a moratorium is required, make it for all fishing including recreational.
