In May of this year, NJOA council members began working with legislators, NJ DEP, the Christie Administration, and various stakeholders in marine fisheries, including anglers, divers, and environmental groups to question the timing of seismic blasting, which is to occur during peak period summer months for fisheries. In conjunction with Clean Ocean Action, NJOA council members also directed its efforts to stop Rutgers University from participating in the study related to seismic blasting.
