Wonton Waste Policy Recommendation: Stingray Bow Hunting

Abstract

The purpose of this recommendation is to provide information that advances an improved position on a wonton waste policy in regards to stingray bow hunting in Alabama. The stingray is the oceans linchpin mesopredator and dramatic population change through excessive bow hunting extraction can push the local bays towards unanticipated environmental and economic transformations. A wonton waste law could help limit the needless disposal of dead stingrays on our beaches, increase public confidence in bay water quality and contribute to research that would aid in setting sustainable limits on stingray bow hunting.
