Less than $3,600 Extends the duration of a shellfish lease from five to ten years. Shellfish renewal fees are $100 – every 5 years for contract/renewals after 2009 and every 10 years for contracts issued prior to 2009. Impact is minimal. Unknown Allows an employee of a shellfish leaseholder holding a valid SCFL (standard commercial fishing license) to take shellfish without a license from an area leased for cultivation of shellfish. The number shellfish license holders who also are employees of a shellfish leaseholder holding a valid SCFL is unknown. Background: Currently, anyone who harvests shellfish from a leased area must obtain a $50 shellfish license or have a SCFL with a shellfish endorsement. Less than $5,000 Amends leases for shellfish cultivation to specify that the lease includes the right to place devices or equipment related to the cultivation or harvesting of marine resources on or within 18 inches of the leased bottom. Devices that don’t attach to the bottom or extend above 18 inches of above the leased bottom would still require a water column lease. The effect of this amendment is that potentially fewer water column leases would be needed. In FY 201314, a total of 26 water column leases made payments totaling $4,530.
