We manage the shellfish resources and shellfish harvest that occurs in Virginia’s tidal waters. This includes the management of the public oyster and clam grounds and those private grounds which are leased for the propagation of shellfish. We also process and issue all necessary permits related to commercial shellfish aquaculture activities.
The Shellfish Management Division coordinates on shellfish related matters with the other Divisions within the Agency and with numerous other entities and groups that may be involved in activities that pertain to Virginia’s shellfish resources or interests
Within the Shellfish Management Division, the Engineering and Surveying Department is responsible for surveying and mapping subaqueous ground for public and private shellfish cultivation, leasing private shellfish grounds, and maintaining oyster ground lease records and maps
