"The plan will allow commercial interests to have continued access to portions of two reefs in state waters and calls for the construction of a new reef for recreational fishing, also in state waters. The compromise, reached in 2013 with commercial and recreational fishing groups, is now being proposed as a formal rule change and amendments to Fish and Wildlife regulations. The proposal appears in the Feb. 2 New Jersey Register."
Hard for me to understand all this. Sounds like a good thing, no?

As long as this effort restores the use of Sport Fish Restoration funds to the NJ Artificial Reef Program, the NJDEP applies for SMZ status for its reefs in Federal waters and the new reef gets all its permits, the Program will be resurrected.
