Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation As of March 31, 2015, the Company maintained the Shore Bancshares, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (“2006 Equity Plan”) under which it may issue shares of common stock or grant other equity-based awards. Stock-based awards granted to date generally are time-based, vest in equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date over a three- to five-year period of time, and, in the case of stock options, expire 7 years from the grant date.

The following tables provide information on stock-based compensation expense for the first three months of 2015 and 2014.
