Question for Virginia reefers

[Reefing102]

Hey guys,

So likely sometime next year I plan on visiting my parents in Norfolk. We always go to the beach (usually Buckroe or Fort Monroe) and I’m always finding hermits, conchs, and various macro algae’s. As well as various small fish.

I’m curious the collection regulations on these. I found the blue crab regulations and clams/oyster regulations but I’m not finding anything on essentially ornamental fishing. Does anyone have the regulations for these? Or is there none and therefore no license is required?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe this will help?

That actually helped immensely! Thanks. Not sure how I didn’t find that on their site previously
