(a) As described at 7:25A-1.8(a), oyster dredge boat license holders shall pay a landing fee of $ 2.00 for each bushel of oysters harvested by purchasing tags to be attached to each container. Tags will be available from the Division's Delaware Bay Office. One-bushel tags will be available in batches of 200 or more, unless a lesser amount is needed to fulfill an oyster dredge vessel's annual tag allotment prior to the close of a season. Twenty-four-bushel bulk tags will be available in batches of eight or more, unless a lesser amount is needed to fulfill an oyster dredge vessel's annual tag allotment prior to the close of a season. Tags provided under this section shall be valid only for the season for which they are issued and are non-transferable. Refunds will not be given for unused tags, unless harvest for the direct market harvest season is terminated or suspended by the Division.

(b) Only owners of vessels that are propelled under their own motive power are eligible to purchase tags and harvest oysters.
