Overview
This bill clarifies that the current regulations regarding lobster size limits in New Jersey apply only to lobsters harvested from the state’s marine waters. It ensures that size restrictions on lobsters are specifically tied to the waters within New Jersey’s jurisdiction, rather than impacting lobsters sourced from outside the state. The Department of Environmental Protection will continue to manage lobster populations through established rules and regulations. The bill aims to streamline the process of regulating lobster fisheries within the state.
