As a leaser of a licensed area for raising shellfish (or grant), it is good to be familiar with the complete set of shellfish policies and regulations, including the temporary regulations.  

The most pertinent sections are:

• Definitions
• Licensed Area Policies
• Policy Regarding Issuance of Shellfish  Grants for Areas Subdivided by the Town
• General and Non-Commercial Regulations
• Licensed Area Regulations
• Seed Picking Regulations

Also, please be aware of the regulations for the State of Massachusetts, particularly Massachusetts General Laws Sections 57 through 68.
