This area makes its living from the hard labor of our Watermen. They need our support now more than ever. Our Watermen catch and raise marine life from rockfish to oysters. They are small businesses that keep the region going. #watermen #SmallBusiness (2/17)

They keep many more small businesses thriving. Restaurants, local grocery stores, roadside stands and more sell the fresh catches they bring to us. #grocerystores #freshfood (3/17)

Rob Wittman tells us that he is ensuring our aquaculture will be protected. Giving an impassioned speech in January, he touts his hard work for our environment yet he votes with Trump. #environmentalprotection #aquacultureprotection (4/17)

A President that is losing the support of our Watermen, according to Insider. He proudly stated he voted for the CARES ACT and was bringing help to our Watermen. Help that many haven't seen. #CARESAct #HelpOurWatermen (5/17)

I spoke with one man today who said his business is only running part time and he hasn't had any help from the CARES ACT. This has been the recent trend and that can ruin the lives of an entire industry. #CARESAct #RuinedIndustry (6/17)

We have small businesses who had a great year in 2019 and were just getting started for a great one this year when the pandemic slammed it to a halt. The buffer they built up is running out or already has. #SmallBusiness #pandemic (7/17)

They are struggling to survive on the little bit our businesses have been able to safely reopen and with home delivery. I've been saying for years the importance of our Watermen in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula region. #StrugglingToSurvive #Watermen (8/17)

These hard working people are the hope and we are letting them down and I refuse to continue to see this struggle without the fight of a lifetime. #hardworking #fightofalifetime (9/17)
