New Jersey A1528 expands shellfish harvest rules to include aquacultured shellfish on Sunday.

New Jersey A1528 modifies the Department of Environmental Protection's authority to allow the harvest of all types of aquacultured shellfish on Sunday, during specific times, in specific areas, and using specific methods. Previously, only oysters could be harvested on Sunday under certain conditions. This change aligns the rules for aquacultured shellfish with those for other shellfish, expanding the scope of shellfish that can be legally harvested on Sundays.
