Title:

Saltwater Fishing Access Sites in New Jersey [New Jersey]

Description:

The Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) maintains an online database of saltwater fishing access sites and locations which directly support recreational fishing that serves as the sample frame for their shoreside survey of recreational anglers. The Site Register (SR) is a database of all access sites along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States from which saltwater recreational fin-fishing may occur. Information provided for each site in the SR includes site descriptors, site location, and recreational fishing activity information by fishing mode (fishing from shore, private or rental boat fishing, charter boat fishing, or headboat fishing). The SR database is maintained at NOAA Fisheries and is accessed by private or public guest account on the website: https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/siteregister/html/siteRegister.jsp (or by searching for ‘MRIP Site Register' in any web browser). The data contained within this data layer was exported from the SR on February 1, 2021.Locations identified as "Retired" within the original database were not mapped as these locations may no longer exist or may be hostile for MRIP survey purposes. Within New Jersey, 61 locations from the original February 1, 2021 data export were designated as "Retired".Upon creation of the GIS layer based upon the MRIP data, staff from the NJ Marine Fisheries Administration (MFA) reviewed the layer in order to determine whether any additional locations should be included. Upon completion of that review, one additional location was submitted by MFA staff to be included in the GIS product and is included in this dataset. MFA locations can be identified as those points with a Site ID beginning with the number 99000.
