Bill overview
This bill would allow commercial fishing vessels in New Jersey to use certain types of fish pumps to remove menhaden from their purse seines. Currently, state law restricts the removal of menhaden to brailing or dip netting only. The bill aims to improve harvesting efficiency, reduce the risk of crew injuries, and minimize potential harm to fish from broken nets by allowing the quicker emptying of nets with pumps.
