If you’re going to visit the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge this summer you might be facing a fee increase.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering increasing the cost of a weekly pass from $15 to $20.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that annual passes would go from $30 to $40 while the charges for taxis will now be $5.
Under the proposal the daily pass will be gone.
And the paper reports that some visitors thought that was unfair.
The refuge takes in $1.3 million from visitors annually providing $155 million in local economic activity.
The Daily Times reports that Chincoteague local officials and chamber of commerce declined to comment on the proposal.
