New Jersey A4994 modifies the definition of "aquaculture" to include the construction of facilities and appurtenant structures.
New Jersey A4994 amends the definition of "aquaculture" throughout State law to include the construction of facilities and appurtenant structures. Currently, the term aquaculture does not include such construction activities, which might otherwise be regulated under State or federal law. This change aims to provide clarity and ensure that all aspects of aquaculture, including infrastructure, are recognized and regulated appropriately. The bill seeks to support the aquaculture industry by acknowledging the importance of both in-water farms and land-based facilities.
