Title: Coastal Sharks Fishing Moratorium Delayed by Federal Government
Post by: The Broken One on March 22, 2010, 10:32:30 PM

The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildife has received notice that the federal government has agreed to give New Jersey until July 30 to implement regulations necessary to avoid a shark fishing moratorium. The state faced the moratorium this season due to non-compliance with regulations required in the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Atlantic Coastal Sharks Interstate Fishery Management Plan.
