New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council Meets July 9

The New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council (Council) meets bi-monthly, usually on the first or second Thursday of the month.  Following an online “webinar” meeting on May 14 due to the COVID-10 crisis, the Council is hoping to meet next in person on July 9 at the Stafford Twp. Municipal Building at 260 East Bay Avenue in Manahawkin.  The meeting is slated to begin at 5 p.m.

The Council has 11 members representing recreational and commercial fishermen, fish processors, the general public and the Atlantic Coast and Delaware Bay sections of the Shellfisheries Council; a volunteer group, the council is responsible for advising the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on various issues and management programs related to marine fishery resources.

To confirm date and time of the meeting or to learn about becoming an official advisor to the Council, call the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Marine Fisheries Administration at 609-292-7794.
