Shoreline Licensing For Waterfront Property Owners Opens
(February 22, 2010) — The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Wildlife and Heritage Service announced that shoreline license applications are now being accepted from riparian (waterfront) property owners. Anyone owning riparian property, or persons who have the permission of the riparian property owner, may license their shoreline for the purpose of establishing stationary blinds or blind sites for hunting waterfowl, or to prevent others from licensing the shoreline at a later date.
All applications and fees must be submitted by mail or in person and received by the close of business June 1, 2010. Riparian property owners may now license their shoreline for a period of one year ($20) or three years ($60). Landowners who miss the June 1 deadline may participate in the “open” licensing process that begins August 3.
Applications and information on laws related to shoreline licensing for riparian property owners are available at the DNR website www.dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/riparian.html or by calling the Wildlife and Heritage Service at 410-260-8540, toll free at 1-877-620-8DNR (8367).

An Overview of Maryland
The middle of the state is the most populated, with Baltimore, Annapolis, and the other metropolitan areas.
To the west is the Garret and Allegany counties, known for its beauty, woodlands, lakes, streams, and rocky terrain.
Moving east, visitors find gentle hills and open grasslands in areas like Hagerstown and Frederick. This area has seen tremendous population growth in the last few decades.
Southern Maryland is more relaxed, with a mix of developments, small towns, marinas, and farms. The region is home to some of the quietest beaches in Maryland.
The eastern shore of Maryland is quite different, with farming, commercial fishing, and tourism. Beaches, wildlife and lure of the Chesapeake Bay make the eastern shore a favorite vacation destination. Like other areas of Maryland, the eastern shore has seen tremendous growth and development, much of which has strained the natural environment. Still the area is considered to be Paradise by many of its residents.
