Attention Commercial Marine License holders
Last call!! The 2025 commercial marine grace period with $200.00 late fee deadline date is April 29, 2025! The $200.00 late fee is in addition to the Statutory license fee.
License holders in the following categories are affected:
- Multipurpose Licenses MPURP
- Resident Standard Fishing Licenses RSTND
- Nonresident Standard Fishing Licenses NRSTND
- Commercial Over 65 Shellfish Licenses SFO65
Failure to renew these licenses by April 29, 2025 will result in the inability to renew the license in 2026 at the same harvest and gear sector. Please note Student License holders STUDSF have until June 30, 2025 to obtain a new or renewed license. There is no grace period for Student Licenses. All commercial fishers must be in reporting compliance prior to renewal of their commercial license (see Part 2 – Commercial Marine Fishing Licenses, Landing Permits, and Party and Charter Licenses; section 2.7.8). Questions regarding compliance should be directed to the DEM Division of Marine Fisheries at 401-423-1923 or 401-423-1926.
Thank you
