There's countless articles about the pollution problem in the Chesapeake caused by relentless harvest of menhaden and the resulting impacts to the entire ecosystem. Agencies, federal and state, have to get off their collective asses and do something about it as opposed to two states, NMFS, ASMFC pandering to the whims of the special interest groups who are making an absolute fortune at everyone else's expense.

Agreed!
