In order to be eligible for an elver transaction card, the individual must be licensed according to 12 M.R.S. § 6505-A or 12 M.R.S. § 6302- A. Valid transaction cards may only be issued by the Department of Marine Resources.
It shall be unlawful for a licensed elver harvester to sell or transfer elvers (or glass eels) the license holder has caught to an elver dealer licensed under 12 M.R.S. § 6864, unless he/she presents a DMR-issued transaction card to the elver dealer during each transaction and that card is used to document the transaction. Transaction cards may only be used to sell elvers which were harvested by the individual identified on the transaction card. A law enforcement officer may seize the transaction card of an individual who has used their transaction card to sell elvers they did not harvest.
