I am in total support of this petition. VMRC and this administration have long ignored their responsibility under the PublicTrust Doctrine and code of Virginia,  to manage menhaden for all citizens of the commonwealth and not a singular company. The industry says there is no science to support not harvesting menhaden in the Chesapeake Bay. I say there is no science to support continuing the harvest in the bay. So, let’s give them the science. Shut down the industrial harvest, fund the previously proposed study, and live by the results of the study.
