\nTake notice that the NJ Department of Environmental Protection is proposing to amend portions of the rules regarding Marine Fisheries at N.J.A.C. 7:25-18. A statement of the substance of the proposal follows: the proposal includes amendments related to fisheries for Atlantic coastal sharks and smooth dogfish.\u00a0 The proposed amendments regarding recreational and commercial fisheries for Atlantic coastal sharks reflect the management measures mandated under the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Coastal Sharks, which contains an implementation date of January 1, 2010.\u00a0 The smooth dogfish is also included in the ASMFC Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Coastal Sharks. States included within the area covered by the ASMFC Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Coastal Sharks are required to maintain consistency with the plan.\u00a0 If the state does not maintain consistency, it may be subjected to a Federally mandated moratorium imposed on the state\u2019s recreational and commercial shark fisheries.<\/p>\n
