I live in a town where I could witness the great decline in the number of osprey chicks that survived this past year... only a handful from the 50 plus nests! I was not surprised to learn that it had to do with their food source… the menhaden. I am aware of the overfishing that is done further up river by corporations such as Omega Protein. For the sake of maintaining a balance of plant and animal life in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, abuses of any of its natural resources must be controlled. We don’t want go back to the all-too-recent past when the Bay was dying. All creatures play a part in the balance of nature and none should be sacrificed for the sake of corporate greed!
