S 85 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Changes law regulating size limits of lobsters.

This bill clarifies that size limits for lobsters apply only to lobsters caught in New Jersey's marine waters, not to imported or exported lobsters. It amends existing law to specify that restrictions on lobster size (for both commercial and recreational fishing) are limited to lobsters taken from state waters, ensuring the rules apply consistently within New Jersey's jurisdiction.
