Screwed by Jon Corzine again !
Screwed by Chris Christie 1 st. time

according to the Asbury Park Press
 
our X pal Jon did not in a timely manor complete the two year revision of state's marine fishing reg's in time for approval.
Also our new Gov. imposed a 90 day rulemaking/regulation moratorium which will prevent us from making the deadline  (Feb 1-4)and forcing us out of compliance.

This will result in the closure of the shark fishery . BY-BY MAKO MANIA

THERE'Y BE NO SWIMMIN WITH BOLLEGED WOMEN THIS YEAR

The feds will tell the state that we are out of compliance with their wants and needs.

If I remember correctly this happened one or two years ago with the tog fishing, we were out of compliance. Were given a date to come into compliance and the state finally acted on it putting us into compliance.

Hopefully this will play out the same way.

New Jersey fishermen could see a shutdown of the summer shark fishery - and the
suspension of big-money shark fishing tournaments - because a two-year-old revision of the state's marine fishing regulations was not approved before former governor Jon Corzine left office, industry advocates say.

Now they are afraid the regulations could be delayed again by Gov. Christie's declaration of a 90-day moratorium on new regulations and rulemaking.

""Because of Governor Corzine's failure to act on the package, New Jersey is facing a potentially damaging shutdown of our shark fishery,'' the Recreational Fishing Alliance says in a letter sent today to the governor's office. ""The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is scheduled to meet in Alexandria, Virginia, from February 1-4, and during those meetings New Jersey is expected to be voted out of compliance on our shark regulations, which will begin the process of shutting down our shark fishery.''

The ASMFC is an interstate compact that binds East Coast states in cooperative
conservation measures. States that don't comply with those management plans can have their fisheries closed, a step that would be enforced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Coast Guard.

Back in 2007 the state Department of Environmental Protection prepared a sweeping revision of the state's regulations to comply with ASMFC requirements, but it languished during legal reviews and was ready for publication in the state Register last fall, according to the RFA, and has been awaiting approval at the governor's office.

The Fed's ruled NJ out of compliance for shark regulations at their last meeting.

I understand that the NJOA and RFA have petitioned the new governor to take immediate action on this. Hopefully he does.
