Disappointment, frustration, and questions after Virginia lawmakers

2/1/2024

There are questions about the menhaden population in Virginia’s portion of the Chesapeake Bay, but they will not be answered for at least another four years, if at all, because of a vote taken by the Virginia House of Delegates Rules-Studies Subcommittee.

The subcommittee voted to delay until the 2025 legislative session consideration of funding for a study of Chesapeake Bay menhaden numbers, and the impact environmental and various types of fishing has on them. The research project would take three years to conduct.

There was no testimony or debate. The bill’s sponsor Del. R. Lee Ware (R-Va. 72nd), who is not a member of the subcommittee, was allowed to give a brief explanation of the bill. Immediately following that, there was a motion to move the bill to the 2025 legislative session, and that motion carried on a voice vote.
