The Maryland Department of Natural Resources proposed to amend COMAR 08.02.11, a regulation governing fishing in nontidal waters. The amendment aims to contain the rusty crayfish within its current distribution. The changes prohibit a person from catching any species of crayfish, using any live species of crayfish as bait, or possessing any live species of crayfish while fishing in the Middle Potomac and Susquehanna River basins. Comments are due August 18, 2008. http://www.dsd.state.md.us/mdregister/3515/index.htm#Final.
