Maryland saves the breeders that make it into their waters to spawn. Virgina allows them to be slaughtered every winter/spring as they school up and stage to go up the Chessie. These are strictly rec boaters doing this.
NY closes the Hudson for the pre-spawn staging and the start of the spawn. I wish Virginia would do the same.
