DOVER – The Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife will conduct a public
lottery for the initial offering of acreage available for shellfish
aquaculture leases in Delaware's Inland Bays at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 2,
at DNREC's Lewes Facility, 901 Pilottown Road, Lewes, DE 19958.
Applications to participate in the lottery are available online at

applicants must submit their completed applications to the Division of
Fish & Wildlife by 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 26.
Applicants will be contacted by the Fisheries Section in the order
their applications were drawn in the lottery and need not be present
to claim their position. In the order of their awarded position,
lottery participants will be able to select one to five acres in the
Indian River and Rehoboth Bays (combined) and/or one to five acres in
the Little Assawoman Bay.
Applications to lease acreage will be accepted after all lottery
participants have selected their acreage through the lottery process.
Acreage selected through the lottery may not be transferred to another
entity prior to the issuance of a fully-executed lease. Following the
award of lease sites through the lottery, remaining acreage will be
available for potential leases on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If a lottery participant fails to submit a completed and accepted
lease application for their selected acreage within one year from the
date of the initial lottery, those acres will be made available for
leasing on a first-come, first-served basis.
