New waterway management fund from boat registration fee increases enables DNREC to take on additional responsibilities for dredging, channel marking, other waterway maintenance

Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control | Division of Fish and Wildlife | Division of Watershed Stewardship | Date Posted: Thursday, January 5, 2017

DOVER – Delaware boat registration fee increases that went into effect Jan. 1 will account for all revenue going into a new waterway management fund that enables DNREC’s Division of Watershed Stewardship’s Shoreline & Waterway Management Section to take better care of the state’s coastal waterways.
