The Secretary of Natural Resources proposed amendments to Md. Code Regs. 08.02.07, Hard-Shell Clams. The proposed amendments remove rules governing the use of handscrapes, rakes, and hydraulic dredges in Worcester County preventing any confusion that might be caused by their inconsistency with current laws. The proposed action also clarifies the minimum size for hard-shell clams. http://www.dsd.state.md.us/mdregister/3619/index.htm#Hard-Shell_Clams_46.
