Ban foreign co from comm fishing state waters
 

Why are we letting a foreign country rape the menhaden from VA state waters ??? Just to save jobs in Reedville ? 
turn omegas reedville property into a resort and provide more and better paying jobs !

why delete all the fish that need menhaden to survive from our state waters . There hasn’t been a striper fishery in lower bay this year as theirs no food for them . The stripers rush up the bay to spawn then winter 15 to 30 miles offshore because that’s where the food is for them to forage on !

every state has banned them it’s time for va to save her resources and do the same !
