The NJ Department of Environmental Protection today launched the state's free web-based saltwater fishing registry.
This registry allows New Jersey to comply with a federal mandate to have a system in place to collect better data from recreational anglers and better manage fishery resources, at the same time exempting anglers from fees and keeping saltwater fishing in New Jersey free.
