Limit menhaden fishing
 

The current fishing strategies for menhaden and other baitfish has the potential for ecological disaster in the Chesapeake Bay region. Osprey depend on the small fish as do other local birds. The Bay is already in trouble ecologically and really needs human help to limit the effects of human use!  Please support the effort to limit fishing, especially to foreign companies who have no ties to our precious resource!
