Shellfish Management Advisory Committee Meeting
The committee discussed updates on the 2026 shellfish replenishment program, including historical data on shell planting and harvest amounts, and the current budget surplus. Additionally, the committee reviewed proposed changes to shellfish harvester tag regulations to align with the National Shellfish Sanitation Program model ordinance, focusing on more specific labeling of harvest areas. A suggestion regarding potential future discussions on extending work hours for private ground harvest due to daylight constraints was also noted.
