Permit for Hydraulic Clam Dredging Revoked
The Virginia Commission of Fisheries revoked a permit for experimental hydraulic dredging of hard shell clams issued to Vernon Drewer of Saxis. The panel referred the issue to VIMS for a report and cited conservation and economic impacts for watermen. Royal Insley of the Virginia Watermen’s Association criticized dredging as destructive to river bottoms and clam stocks. Drewer defended the method as used in New York for decades, while the commission rejected a relief from oyster ground rent due to MSX mortality, noting the problem will persist for years.
