Saltwater
Fishing Registry
All saltwater anglers and for-hire vessel
operators will now be able to register through the no-fee State
system rather than the fee-based federal system. Anglers
still must register with the state system even if they have
already registered with the federal system.
Those who
fish from a for-hire party or charter fishing vessel that is
registered with the New Jersey Saltwater Recreational Registry
Program are not required to file for an individual registration.
Everyone 16 or older must register and carry the printed
registration with them when fishing. Registration must be
renewed yearly.

the registry and to register, visit:

Information
on Shellfish Harvesting
A valid shellfish license (commercial
or recreational) is required for any shellfish harvesting in New
Jersey and
shellfish permits
are required for commercial harvesting. For more information on a
shellfish harvesting license and other regulations (such as size
limits),
contact the
New
Jersey Division of Fish, Game & Wildlife, Bureau of Shellfisheries
at (609) 748-2040.
Each year, the Bureau of Marine Water Monitoring collects approximately 10,000 water samples and analyzes these samples at its laboratory facilities in Leeds Point, NJ. In addition, bureau staff regularly perform field surveys of the coastal shoreline to monitor any actual or potential pollution sources. This information is reviewed each year in order to update the classification of the state's coastal waters for shellfish harvest.
