We have completed a streamlined database, to license duck blinds in Maryland, which will be under the control of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR). The finishing touches and bells and whistles are being incorporated. Currently, a prospective licensee must go to the county in which the duck blind will be licensed to submit registration forms. Enforcement of laws and prevention of errors is difficult because records are kept in each individual county. The MD BLIS database will have built-in checks that prevent the same site from being licensed more than once, and to prevent one person from licensing more than two duck blinds per day. The database will be coupled with geographic data such as parcel and hydrologic boundaries in a Geographic Information System. This will allow a licensee to put a duck blind no closer than 250 yards from an existing duck blind. Eventually, this system can be served over the Internet so licensees can "point and click" on a parcel to register without having to drive to the county where the duck blind is located.
