Former House Delegate Tim Anderson on Menhaden fishing:

“Every state on the east coast has banned reduction fishing of menhaden in coastal waters except Virginia. A Canadian company is raping the bay to deplete menhaden for omega oils for dog food.

“And no governor – Republican or Democrats wants to stop it. Makes me sick. Let’s throw another $2 million at it. I wonder why the Chesapeake Bay is collapsing? 51,000 tonnes of menhaden are pulled out annually. That’s enough fish to fill bumper to bumper tractor trailers from Reedville to Richmond.

“Politicians looking the other [way] for campaign donations. Pathetic.”
