Potomac River Fisheries Commission Advisory Committees
|
The Potomac River Fisheries Commission
has three advisory committees: |
|
|
Finfish Advisory Committee |
|
Crab Advisory Committee |
|
Oyster/Clam Advisory Committee |
|
|
|
The advisory committee members are private citizens
from the commercial and recreational fishing communities. The advisory
committees have an equal number of representatives from Maryland and Virginia.
The Commission may, from time to time, refer issues to the related Advisory
Committee for its recommendations. The Advisory Committee chairman may, also,
call a meeting to deliberate and consider any item within its sphere of
interest. The Advisory Committees submit recommendations to the Commission
regarding modifications of existing orders or regulations, or new items.
NOTE: At present, we are not posting the home mailing addresses of Advisory
Committee Members. The Commission Secretary will forward any mail or messages
sent to the Commission. Please address mail or messages to:
