I agree with you Sandman 100%. I went on record (representing myself and the RFA) at the RI meeting saying forget the cap, stop the fishing effort in ALL inshore waters...the same for the Chesapeake as current laws in place for NJ, NY and CT waters. RI does not allow any fishing for menhaden for the purpose of rendering. RISAA also spoke in favor of keeping Omega Protein out of the Chesapeake and forget just capping them.
This is a shallow victory but only a starting point for more stringent regulations.
Now let's make it happen.
