Virginia's irresponsible mismanagement of the Menhaden population by allowing overharvesting, has decimated native species throughout the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. While states work to clean up pollution entering the Bay, Virginia's policies are literally starving the life out of the Bay. Stop it! If someone shoots an Osprey they go to jail. If you starve it to death, you get a campaign contribution. Virginia's policies are at best 'penny wise and pound foolish' economically and at worst a crime against nature when it comes to preserving vital natural resources.
