U

ed by Robert E. Hughey, Commissioner .of the Department of Environmental Protection, means that the total 1981-82 harvest of sea clams will be raised from 500,000 to 600,000 bushels. The origina'I harvest limit of 500,000 bushels of clams was projected to be taken by March 6. This would have closed the regular season several months prematurely, causing serious economic impact upon New Jersey sea clammers. UPON CONSULTATION with research scientists and advice from the State Sea Clam Advisory Panel and the Marine Fisheries Council, it was determined that the sea:clam resource could support the additional harvest of 100,000 The weekly vessel harvest limit will remain at 512 bushels per vessel. The Commissioner v^ill continue to monitor the weekly catches of sea clams in state waters and when the 600,000 bushel limit is harvested, !ie will close the fishery upon two days public notice.
