i sent this letter to the asmfc and the midatlantic states

Hello my name is Evan Weeden:
I have been fishing for Striped Bass all my life. The overharvest of the menhaden is causing a disease in the striped bass population called mycobacteriosis which basically eats the striped bass form the inside out. The menhaden's oils keep the striped bass robust and fights off sickness. May I add that the Chesapeake Bay is the striped bass spawning ground, more than half of striped bass have this sickness. In order for the striped bass to make a healthy come back we need to properly manage its food source. I strongly recommend that you put strict regulations on the menhaden population.

Thank you for your time,

Evan Weeden
