Crab license buy-back effort
Maryland Department of Natural Resources officials are offering
to buy back 3,676 commercial catcher licenses to improve management
of blue crab populations. The department mailed letters Wednesday to
anyone with a commercial limited crab catcher license, hoping
inactive license holders will sell the license back. Officials said
inactive licenses are obstacles to measuring harvest management
strategies and ensuring fair wages for full-time crabbers because of
the number of people who may or may not harvest crabs. License
holders must submit a bid for the value of their license by July 31
so the department can decide if it will pay that amount by Aug. 15.
