No Progress in Bill to Rid Reefs of Commercial Traps
Editors' Note: In 2008 a second year passed with no success from New Jersey legislators in passing a bill to rid the state's artificial reefs from commercial lobster and fish traps. For further info, see the past articles Save the Reefs, Senate Passes Reef Bill and Reef Bill Dies.
From the February issue of the Jersey Coast Anglers Association newsletter:
The Pots Off the Reef Bill has made no progress in the Assembly. It passed the Senate and the Assembly remains the roadblock as it was during the last session. We must keep reminding Assembly Speaker Roberts that this bill is of great importance to the recreational fishing industry and the recreational anglers of New Jersey. Working with Assembly Speaker Roberts is a task that should be a priority for the New Jersey Angling and Hunting Conservation Caucus.
