Christie administration will create artificial reef for recreational fishing

Because Bill Figley who headed up the reef program and is now retired from the state did not exclude them when he wrote the reef bill so they are sort of grandfathered.

Mr. Figley had nothing to do with a decision to restrict gear types when the reef program began. His superiors, up to and including the NJDEP Commissioner at that time, were the ones to make that decision.
