From the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife:


The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildife has received notice that the federal government has agreed to give New Jersey until July 30 to implement regulations necessary to avoid a shark fishing moratorium.

The state faced the moratorium this season due to non-compliance with regulations required in the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Atlantic Coastal Sharks Interstate Fishery Management Plan.
