The finfish trap fishery is closed to any new licenses. There are no limits on those holding licenses for the number of traps they can set. They have yet to meet or exceed their allocated quota in the Black Sea Bass fishery which is the primary species for traps. The recreational side has had their fishery shut down due to an “estimated” overfishing 2010-2011. The RFA has been asking for a restriction on finfish trap numbers and other regulations for at least three years with no response from NJDEP. The lobster industry is in the same situation of having a closed fishery but they are limited in the number of pots they can set and will soon have reductions to that number and a closed season which will affect us as well.
