It is the Conservation Director in each state who is charged with the responsibility of being aware of the environmental issues that daily face every local community. The impact of these issues as they relate to anglers within the state, and neighboring states, is the primary concern of each director. They are the instigators of grassroots involvement from outdoors people everywhere, whenever the cause needs to be furthered.
Whether a local issue or a national problem, the Conservation Director is there to watch for problems that could, or do, impact local fisheries.

Free marine fisheries registration website? The website is: https://www.countmyfish.noaa.gov/
You can go there and register for free until the new regulations with fee are made for 2011. This effects anyone who is fishing tidal water where anadromous fish (ie. stripers, herring, shad) are present but not targeted.
If you have the potential to catch one of these species then you do need to register. Obviously, this registration is necessary to fish the Delaware River and the Upper Chesapeake on our schedule this year. Please email me with any concerns on the new legislation as I will be working with the NJ State Federation of Sportsman’s Club to have input on the upcoming regulations.

Volunteers yank weeds out of Lake Musconetcong
NETCONG — Volunteers hand-pulled roughly 7 tons of water chestnuts out of Lake Musconetcong Saturday in a coordinated effort to combat the spread of the invasive plant, dubbed "Public Enemy No. 1.''
The water chestnuts have produced thick mats of leaves that now stretch across about 30 acres of the lake's surface and can be seen from the shore, particularly in areas such as Arbolino cove, where the plant has been especially pervasive.
