I surveyed Diamond Back Terrapins in 2011 as a volunteer. These were greatly reduced or absent near private vacation homes. The reason was mortality. These turtles live for eighty years, so every loss is a big one. They are caught in recreational pots near vacation homes. Waterman our in the Bay will not see them in their pots, but traps in the small inlets near homes are catching enough of them to reduce their numbers or eliminate them. The bycatch reduction devices only cost a couple of dollars are are easy to install. A home with only a few pots can easily install these. It would be a great benefit to these iconic Virginia creatures.

I, including many Va watermen have received tickets from Marine Police for missing license stickers or plates on gillnet, pound net, and other gear. Almost all of the time these licenses are missing because wind and waves in bad weather have removed them. In most cases we do not fish this gear every day and when we do find a license sticker or plate missing from our gear then we have to go back to the VMRC office or Marine agent to get a duplicate. Abolishing the 24 hour period just make plain sense and is completely fair. The first violation is a Class 1 misdemeanor, a second one within 12 months is a class 3....pretty harsh. If this committee is against eliminating this regulation, then gives us 10 days.
