The Potomac River Fisheries Commission operates under the Mary-
land-Virginia Compact of 1958, which was authorized by an act of
Congress. Maryland ratified the Compact by Chapter 269, Acts of
1959, subject to referendum held on November 8, 1960. The Commis-
sion is a semi-autonomous agency, but its work and policies are tied
in very closely with the Departments of Tidewater Fisheries in both
Maryland and Virginia. The purpose of the Commission is the estab-
lishment and maintenance of a program of conservation and improve-
ment of the seafood resources of the Potomac River.

The Commission consists of six members, three from each state.
The members from Maryland are all members of the Tidewater Fish-
eries Commission, whose terms of office on the Commission corre-
sponds with their terms of office on the Tidewater Fisheries Com-
mission. The Governor fills any vacancies which may occur. The Chair-
manship of the Commissions alternates annually between Maryland
and Virginia.

The Commission is financed by appropriations from each state,
together with income and license sales available. The Tidewater Fish-
eries Departments of both states supply the law enforcement for the
Commission on the Potomac River (Code 1957, 1962 Supp., Art. 66C,
sec. 261A).
