Bill overview
This bill modifies the definition of "aquaculture" throughout New Jersey’s laws to include construction and appurtenant structures. Currently, the definition focused solely on the rearing and harvesting of aquatic organisms. This change broadens the scope to encompass the building phase of aquaculture facilities, potentially impacting regulations related to land use, environmental permits, and development approvals. It also clarifies the definition of "aquaculture" for use in other existing legislation.
