Richmond Birders,
Looking for a chance to help Ospreys, Bald Eagles and Gannets? Consider
attending the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission on February 8th and
speaking up for birds.
We successfully got a cap put in place on Menhaden catch from the Bay.
Virginia Commissioners are planning to appeal this, so we need to speak up.
I have attached talking points on this email. Please contact me or Zachary,
who spoke to us last year, if you plan on attending.
I will send a letter with these points to the commissioners as well.
