Commercial Fisheries


​It has come to our attention that the Maryland Outdoors System erroneously sent out reminder emails regarding the renewal of commercial authorization/s and that you may have received one of those emails.
 
The email subject line would have been: Important Notice: Commercial Authorization Email Reminder
If received, please disregard that email and accept our apologies for any confusion that it caused.
 
If you have questions regarding this notice, please contact DNR Licensing at (410) 260-3220.
