Coast Ports in 1979. While dollar values of landings have declined over the past two years, the reported 1981 values fo $20.5 million ranks fourth among east coast ports and represents over 40 per cent of New Jersey's seafood harvest. Reasons proposed for the decline have included movements of the fleet of other ports, declines in fish abundance and poor market price. THERE ARE almost a 1,000 people employed by the industry on the 14 docks and close to 160 vessels that use Cape May ports. A recent Rutgers report estimated replacement value of the fishing industry at $68 million. Annual retail value of the'industry was placed at over $50 million and It contributes $7.5 Billion in salaries totcounty residents * The future of the industry is promising. Efforts to catch squid and mackerel for overseas markets are leasing to record harvests. Shellfish landings, primarily surf clams and ocean guahogs, continue to represent over half of Cape May County's landings. Almost 55 per cent of U.S. ocean guahogs were landed in Cape May and processed in local plants. Joint ventures, arrangements where Cape May fishermen are paid by foreigners to catch fish, have also opened new markets and reduced fishermen costs for fuel and ice. ROBIN ZIMMER, Director of New Jersey’s Sea Grant Extension Service, • discussed research needs of the Jersey shore communi.ties. Sea Grant research in the past has focused on finding solutions to coastal erosion, on defining pollution problems in the state, and on describing fish populations. These research efforts, wjill continue with increased emphasis on Norflfc Jersey pollution problenr^ assessment of pollution effects on Fluke and conservation of New Jersey tile fish resources. Most seafood landed in Cape May County is sold to state residents through local fresh fish markets. In the past very little information was available to help consumers identify quality seafood but Marion Olsen, Cape May County’s Home Economist, recently developed a program to help consumers throughout the State. SHE REPORTED that she organized a two-day training session for 30 Cooperative Extension Service Home Economists. The program was designed

to acquaint the home economists with the sele^ tion, proper handling and preparation of New Jersey’s traditional and non-traditional species. As a result of this program, greater seafood information will be available to consumers through local workshops and home economist new letters. It is hoped this iricreased* knowledge will result in greater utilization of Cape May County^ abundant and varied seafood harvest.
