Fishing Legislation in Virginia

The Virginia Legislature is considering legislation on the following issues right now:

Amendment 5 to the Striped Bass plan which would increase the recreational season by 300% and simultaneously increase the commercial quota by over 700 %. This proposed increase is 150% higher than the largest commercial harvest prior to the collapse of the fishery during the 80's. Contact the VA Atlantic Costal Conservation Association (ACCA) for more information at 804-481-1226. Or let the VA House of Delegates and Senate know how you feel about this action by calling the following hotlines.

The ACCA of Virginia is trying to supporting regulations to protect the yellowfin fishery from overharvest. For more information contact the VA ACCA for more information at 804-481-1226.
