Summary
This Act grants the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control authority to restrict, or define by regulation, the type of fishing activities permitted within the geographic boundaries of the artificial reef sites in the Delaware Bay and ocean waters under Delaware jurisdiction. This regulatory authority is necessary to prevent certain types of commercial fishing from interfering with the ability and opportunity for sport fishing. Delaware’s artificial reef sites were built, and are maintained, partially or wholly through funds made available under the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act to benefit sport fisheries and sport fishing.
