Meeting Archives

We've provided to you archived copies of meeting minutes dating back to the 1990's as part of an archival project we began in the summer of 2017. We'll think you'll find them as facinating as we did. The Potomac River Fisheries Commission (Commission) is the Maryland-Virginia bi-state regulatory authority for fishery matters in the mainstem tidal Potomac River from Washington, DC to the Chesapeake Bay. The Commission is comprised of eight members, four appointed by the governor of Maryland and four appointed by the governor of Virginia.
