pose of conserving and increasing the oyster. The second is a fish
management program which limits the number of commercial licenses
issued each year for the taking of fin-fish. The third is a program of
interstate cooperation which is concerned primarily with the crabbing

regulations, the Department maintains a fleet of thirty-four patrol
boats and one patrol plane (Code 1947, Art. 19A, sees. 6-10).
