The NJDEP's Division of Fish and Wildlife reminds anglers that there is a public forum to discuss freshwater fisheries research and management, culture and recreational angling in New Jersey on Saturday, Feb. 26 beginning at 10:00 a.m. The meeting will be held at the Batsto Village Visitors Center in Burlington County.
Topics to be discussed will include all aspects of freshwater fisheries management, including both warmwater and coldwater fisheries. Professional staff from the Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries will be on hand to answer questions and provide updates.
Pre-registration is not required but is appreciated, and will help ensure that all attendees can be accommodated. Individuals can pre-register by calling 856-629-4950 or by sending an e-mail to Christopher.Smith@dep.state.nj.us.
The Fisheries Forum is truly the individual angler's best opportunity to have an integral role in the development of future regulations and management strategies affecting New Jersey anglers and our freshwater fishery resource!
