Restricting Shoreline Duck Hunting
If you and your neighbors want to prevent duck hunting on your waterfront property, you may apply for a license to protect your waterfowl. You simply apply for a license and no one will be able to hunt on your waterfront. The deadline is June 1. The complete text can be found here: http://dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/Licenses/riparian.asp
The following is an excerpt from the Department of Natural Resources regarding licensing:
Licensing for Riparian Landowners
Any person owning riparian property in Maryland may license their shoreline, regardless of their state of residency. Persons owning property in Virginia that is adjacent to the tidal waters of the Potomac River may also license their shoreline.
Any riparian landowner, regardless of how much shoreline they own, may license their shoreline to prevent the shoreline from being licensed at a later date by someone else. Once a stretch of shoreline is licensed, no other person may receive a license for the same shoreline, whether or not the original licensee establishes a stationary blind or blind site.
