The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife's artificial reef program continues to actively enhance fishing opportunities and ocean habitat for fish. Yesterday the 68-foot Austin was deployed on the Axel Carlson Reef, 4.4 nautical miles southeast of Manasquan Inlet. The deployment of the 115-foot vessel Lisa Kim, to be sunk on the Wildwood Reef, 8.3 miles northeast of Cape May Inlet, has been rescheduled to September 29 or 30 depending on weather conditions.
