This Menhaden Issue Needs To Be Discussed

[Spot77]

First, the early 2000's were a decade ago, and a lot can and has changed in that time. To call both groups "liars" seems a bit extreme. "Flip floppers"???? Well I'll give you that one.

What is the reasoning behind the banning of all harvesting?

Do you have a link to what you're talking about? You forget that some, if not most of us were probably not around or involved in these things 10 years ago. Some background info would be helpful.

At face value, I agree that it sounds a bit overzealous and unfair to the businesses that this will affect. I don't like the banning of anything and the state of MD is all too happy to jump on the BANwagon when often no problem exists, or when a few simple tweeks of existing code could correct a problem.

It's all in the process of negotiations. You ask for it all and accept less. If you start with half you end up with a quarter..............Gary

Bay Bridge toll fees are a perfect example.

Yeah. I guess in this day and age if you don't tell the truth, your not a liar. Sorta goes with Clinton and "I didn't have sex with that women"

If your not up to speed on the Menhaden issue, I don't have 2 days to bring you up to speed. Best I can do is point you to the ASMFC website and tell you to read about Menhaden as a managed species.
