EASTON, Md. – A 41-page document released by Maryland DNR lists thousands of commercial crabbers' names. At the top, the document warns if late reports continue, it may result in fishing licenses being suspended.
Rob Newberry of the Delmarva Fisheries Association says it can be a tedious process to report harvest numbers He adds many who appear on the list aren't active crabbers, choosing to fish or oyster instead.
"It doesn't affect crab harvest numbers," Newberry said. "At the end of the year, the people that are crabbing are reporting and Maryland DNR factors that in."
