[Amended 1-26-1982]
No beam trawlers or otter trawlers shall be used in any of the
waters of the Town of Oyster Bay if the same shall drag upon Town
lands underwater so as to interfere in any manner with the natural
or cultivated growth of any shellfish in said waters. The possession
by any person of such beam trawler or otter trawler overboard in the
waters of the Town of Oyster Bay shall be prima facie evidence that
the same is dragging upon Town lands underwater and disturbing or
interfering with the shellfish therein or thereon.
All permitted netting operations shall be done only between
the hours of sunrise and sunset.
The provisions of this article shall not apply to netting, seining
and trawling operations and uses conducted for scientific research
only authorized by a proper governmental agency.
