There is absolutely zero reason for these vessels to be in the Chesapeake bay. The Bay acts as of sanctuary for breeding of at risk species also a food source to birds of prey. I live on the bay where Osprey use to roost on a yearly basis these birds are dying and or leaving for lack of food sources the nests have disappeared. Constantly seeing dead oversized fish that would illegal for a recreational fisherman to keep whenever these boats come through the bay due to bycatch. These boats need tk stay in the ocean Maryland and other states that have bays already refuse them let virginia as well.
