Harvest of Atlantic Menhaden in Virginia waters
 

I am in agreement with the partition. Please lower harvest limits so proper studies can be done showing the impacts of the lack of menhaden has on these waters. The immediate lowerering of harvesting would give scientists and water quality specialists the ability to see how having more menhaden in these waters affects the other fish and wildlife. Also by having more of these forage feeding fish this can help filter the bays waters creating a healthier environment in the Chesapeake Bay. Thank you.
