What Our Customers Like You Say they Love About Carefree Boat Club

“My wife and I used to own a boat but found that we spent more time repairing it than enjoying it with our family and friends! It was always repainting this or fixing that.

Recreational fishers call on legislators for action on menhaden management

Industry wants science. legislators balked at funding a state study last session, by: charlie paullin - september 18, 2024 5:25 am.

Recreational fishers in Virginia are asking legislators to take action on managing menhaden in the Chesapeake Bay, as the only reduction fishing company catching the tiny nutrient fish continues to refute allegations it’s harming the species.

In a Sept. 3 letter , the Virginia Saltwater Sportfishing Association sent the request to all 100 members of the House of Delegates and 40 members of the Senate. 

“The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure and it can no longer support this level of industrial-scale fishing in its fragile waters,” wrote Steve Atkinson, chairman of the VSSA, after detailing ways management of menhaden has and hasn’t changed in recent years. “Our citizens ask for your support of sensible regulatory/legislative action to better manage this vital public resource.”

Oversight of the menhaden reduction fishery in Virginia has long been debated through regulation requests and ongoing court cases that sought to reduce the catch amounts for Reedville-based Omega Protein, the lone reduction fishery in the Bay that reduces menhaden into fishmeal and oil.

The VSSA and conservationists say Omega’s catches are hurting the striped-bass population, though the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, the regional fishing management authority, says the species is overfished but overfishing is not occurring. Overfished is a regulatory term meaning that the number of fish or weight of fish is below a sustainable reference point, while overfishing happens when catching or death rates are below a sustainable reference point.

Recent research is now linking lower populations of menhaden to starving osprey chicksin several areas of the Bay, not just the lower Mobjack Bay region that previous research examined. Over the summer, the USGS presented to the ASMFC separate research also looking at how catching menhaden, as well as pollution and weather events, could be starving the osprey species amid competition with other birds, including the double crested cormorant and brown pelicans.

In 2020, the Virginia legislature transferred regulatory oversight to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, where the VSSA and conservations thought stricter rules on Omega would be easier to attain. 

But a 2022 petition with 11,000 signatures calling for Omega to move its fishing to the Atlantic Ocean in order to study the impact of the company on the Bay led to the VMRC entering into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the company, which agreed to not fish around holidays and weekends. Another request for stricter regulations on Omega was denied earlier this year.

Omega, which is limited to a 51,000 metric ton cap on catches in the Bay under ASMFC’s direction, has said that fishing in the Bay is critical when inclement weather makes fishing in the Atlantic Ocean unsafe. There also isn’t any science showing their operations — which employ over 250 people with annual wages totaling $29 million, $26 million of which stays in Northumberland and Lancaster counties — aren’t as impactful on birds in the Bay as “a range of issues” that the USGS presented are, contends the company that operates Omega’s fishing vessels, Ocean Harvesters..

“Ocean Harvesters believes that any organization can and should participate in the governing process, but the groups’ statements must be grounded in facts and the best available science; not erroneous rhetoric that is meant to misinform like that of VSSA,” said Ocean Harvesters in a statement, adding such rhetoric could “negatively impact the blue-collar, union, and minority workforce of Ocean Harvesters.”

The letter from the VSSA references a bill from this past session carried by Del. Lee Ware, R-Powatan, that would’ve funded the $2.6 million study both the recreational fishers and Omega have called for, but the measure was carried over to next year’s session. The recreational fishers, Omega, academic institutions and conservations crafted the framework of the study, to be conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences.

Attempts to reach Ware weren’t immediately successful.

Del. Betsy Carr, D-Richmond, who is a member of the study’s subcommittee that voted to carry over Ware’s bill and several other funding requests said in a statement, “I and many of my colleagues remain supportive of it and interested in (the menhaden study’s) crucial findings.”

“I look forward to continuing to work on this issue in the coming Session and am hopeful that we can secure the funding and resources,” Carr said.

Following the USGS presentation over the summer, the ASMFC approved a motion from Lynn Fegley, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources director of fishing and boat services, to form a workgroup to consider “precautionary options,” including seasonal closures, for regulations on Omega. Virginia’s representative on the board, Pat Geer, chief of fisheries management at VMRC, attempted to postpone the measure to gather the science first, but his motion failed.

“[Fegley’s] motion is leading down a path of the seasonal closure for a fishery based on public opinion,” said Pat Geer, VMRC Chief of Fisheries. “We need the science first. We need to have that information. It is very frustrating for us, and it’s embarrassing, that we can’t get the funding to do this, if it’s that important.”

The ASMFC workgroup is expected to present  proposals in October. Any regulation changes to Omega need to happen between October and December, the time period negotiated as part of the oversight transfer to VMRC to allow the company to prepare for the season that begins in May.

• All PWC operators, regardless of age, and motorboat operators 30 years of age or younger shall meet the requirements by July 1, 2012
• All motorboat operators, regardless of age, shall meet the requirements by July 1, 2016

How Do I Comply With this New Law? A person shall be considered in compliance with the requirement for boating safety education if he/she meets one or more of the following provisions:

• Completes and passes a boating safety education course that is approved by NASBLA and accepted by the Department
• Passes an equivalency exam
• Possesses a valid license to operate a vessel issued to maritime personnel by the United States Coast Guard or a marine certificate issued by the Canadian government or possesses a Canadian Pleasure Craft Operator's Card
• Possesses a temporary operator's certificate
• Possesses a rental or lease agreement from a motorboat rental or leasing business, which lists the person as the authorized operator of the motorboat. The person must also completed the Dockside Safety Checklist
• Operates the motorboat under direct supervision on board of a person who meets the compliance requirement
• Operates a boat not registered in Virginia, temporarily using the waters of Virginia for a period not to exceed 90 days, and meets any applicable boating safety education requirements of the state of residency
• Has assumed operation of the motorboat due to the illness or physical impairment of the initial operator, and is returning the motorboat to shore in order to provide assistance or care for the operator
• Is registered as a commercial fisherman pursuant to the Code of Virginia or is under the on-board direct supervision of the commercial fisherman while operating the commercial fisherman's boat

How Do I Prove I Completed and Passed a Course? Boaters that must comply with the new education standards must be able to present to the officer a card or certificate that indicates you have passed a NASBLA approved boating course or that you have passed the equivalency exam.

What if I am Only Visiting Virginia? You must demonstrate that you are not a resident of Virginia, that you are temporarily using the water of Virginia for a period of 90 days or less (your boat is registered in another state as the “state of principal use”), and that you meet any applicable boating safety education requirements of your state of residency.

Is there a Minimum Age to Operate? For a personal watercraft, the minimum operator age is 14 and operators must complete and pass a boating safety course before they can operate. For a motorboat, there is no minimum operator age and there is no minimum age requirement to attend a NASBLA approved boating safety course. Youngsters can operate a boat under direct supervision of a person who meets the boating safety education requirement.

How Do I Get My Certificate?

1. After you complete the course you will be issued a printable copy of your certificate that you can print yourself and use immediately. 2. You will also have the option of ordering a Virginia Division of Natural Resources approved, waterproof plastic card for $15. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your card to arrive.

Virginia adopts statewide 'bell-to-bell' cell phone ban in public schools Virginia adopts statewide 'bell-to-bell' cell phone ban. The Virginia Department of Education has released its final guidance on a "bell-to-bell" cell phone-free policy for K-12 public schools across the state, in response to Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Executive Order 33. FOX 5's Shomari Stone has the story. The Virginia Department of Education has released its final guidance on a "bell-to-bell" cell phone-free policy for K-12 public schools across the state, in response to Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Executive Order 33.  This new policy is designed to minimize distractions and foster a better learning environment for students by limiting cell phone use during the school day. The cell phone-free policy defines "bell-to-bell" as the period from the first bell at the start of the school day to the final bell at dismissal. This includes time during lunch and between classes. According to the VDOE, phones must be turned off and stored away during this time to ensure students remain focused on their education. "We are so thankful for the collaborative input from families, educators, and students on such a critical challenge for our young people," said Lisa Coons, Superintendent of Public Instruction. "Virginians helped shape the final guidance, and we look forward to continuing our work with families and educators to ensure every student can have a Cell Phone-Free Education." RELATED: Virginia Department of Education holds first 'cell phone free education' meeting The final guidance was shaped by extensive feedback from nearly 6,000 public comments, as well as input from over 1,160 Virginians during 21 stakeholder meetings and public conversations.  The public’s input reinforced the need for the policy, with many noting that cell phones often distract students and disrupt learning. Read the Virginia Department of Education Cell Phone-Free Education Guidance A recent poll by The Washington Post and George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government shows that 69% of Virginia parents support cell phone-free education, including the restrictions during lunch and class breaks. Governor Youngkin emphasized the importance of the new policy in his statement, saying, "This guidance from the Virginia Department of Education is an important step towards creating a healthier learning environment where students can receive a quality education free from harmful distractions." The policy includes specific provisions for students with medical needs. Students requiring phone-based health monitoring apps may qualify for a medical exemption, which will be included in their Individualized Education Plan, 504 plan, or health care plan. The guidance also addresses concerns from parents about communication during school emergencies. It outlines best practices for schools to keep parents informed during both emergency and non-emergency situations, ensuring communication remains clear and consistent. What's next?  Governor Youngkin has tasked several state agencies, including the Secretary of Education and the Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety, to help school divisions enhance their emergency communication plans. School divisions are expected to review and, if necessary, update their cell phone policies by January 1, 2025, to align with the state’s guidance. Schools are also encouraged to consider additional measures beyond the basic requirements. To further raise awareness about the mental health effects of cell phones and social media, First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin and psychologist Dr. Jonathan Haidt will host a statewide conversation on Sept. 19 to discuss the importance of the cell phone-free initiative and strategies for families. School leaders will also receive an Administrator’s Toolkit to assist with policy implementation, and $500,000 in microgrants will be made available to support these efforts. "This guidance reflects our commitment to creating a safer and more focused learning environment for all students," said Governor Youngkin.
