No person shall dredge upon or throw, cast or drag an oyster or clam dredge, or any other instrument or appliance used for catching shellfish, in that area known as Section "E" as defined in R.S.50:1-23 or upon any of the land of the State lying under the tidal waters of the Delaware Bay, in this State, below the southwest line, other than land or ground for which the person then holds a lease from the Shellfisheries Council under this Title. A lessee may, however, authorize another individual to dredge for shellfish on the lease using authorized gear during the authorized season.
Any such authorization shall be in writing, signed by all parties on forms provided by the Division of Fish and Wildlife, and shall be in the dredger's possession at all times during dredging operations.
