(A)
Any person who violates any section of this chapter in any portion of the harbor management area shall be liable to a fine of $50 for each offense. Each day that a violation continues after seven days following notification of the offending party or, if the offending party is not known, after notice has been posted for that time on any vessel, mooring tackle or other object that is the cause of the violation, shall be considered a separate offense. The provisions of this division (B) are in addition to and do not supersede any penalties resulting from simultaneous violations of state or federal laws. Fines levied under the provisions of this chapter shall be collected by the town and deposited into the town Harbor Management Account, as set forth in § 152.04(D).
(B) Any person who obstructs, resists or willfully refuses to obey the order of the Harbor Master or Deputy Harbor Master for the stationing of a vessel in accordance with this chapter shall be subject to the fines and penalties set forth in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 15-8 and other applicable sections of the Connecticut General Statutes, enforceable by any duly authorized police officer of the town.
(C) Any violation of the provisions of this chapter relating to mooring permits may, after due notice, result in revocation of the mooring permit by the Harbor Master. Any party aggrieved by any decision pertaining to an action by the Harbor Master may submit a request in writing to the Harbor Management Commission to review that decision with respect to this chapter and the harbor management plan. Such request shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of the decision. The Commission shall review the decision and render a finding on the matter within 60 days of receipt of the aggrieved party's written request.
