Save the Bay by Protecting Menhaden
 

Quit being a SLAVE to Omega Protein and other conglomerates and ethically take care of the Bay! It is YOUR JOB and YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to fellow Virginians, surrounding states, and the world, to protect of this amazing resource -The Chesapeake Bay. If you care at all about the Bay and its residents, this should be a no brainer!  For better insight into how humans have been treating the wealth of the seas and rivers read, The Unnatural History of the Sea by Callum Roberts.  It is very depressing how humans have depleted and drove so many creatures to extinction or near extinction through unregulated overfishing.  You will be shocked when you read it!  Roberts book reveals the history (since around the 1400's) of how we have raped and pillaged waters around the world. It even mentions our Chesapeake Bay!!! We need to take care of our food sources as well as the creatures that also depend on it.  DO YOUR JOB and start NOW doing what is morally right! Make this protective measure happen!
