Section 188-2-80 - Marking Procedures for Aquaculture Leases1. Except for a lease site that has received a Private Aid to Navigation permit from the United States Coast Guard, aquaculture leases shall be marked with yellow floating devices, such as buoys, which display the lease acronym assigned by the Department and the words SEA FARM in letters of at least 2 inches in height in colors contrasting to the background color of the device. The yellow floating devices shall be displayed at each corner of the lease area that is occupied or at the outermost corners. The yellow floating devices shall be readily distinguishable from interior buoys and aquaculture gear and shall host reflective material. In cases where the boundary line exceeds 200 yards, additional devices shall be displayed so as to clearly show the boundary line of the lease. In situations where the topography or distance of the lease boundary interrupts the line of sight from one marker to the next, additional marked floating devices shall be displayed so as to maintain a continuous line of sight.2. Sites that have received a Private Aid to Navigation permit from the United States Coast Guard must have the lease acronym assigned by the Department and the words SEA FARM clearly displayed on the site.3. When such marking requirements are unnecessary or impractical in certain lease locations, such as upwellers located within marina slips, the Commissioner may set forth alternative marking requirements in an individual lease.13-188 C.M.R. ch. 2, § 80
