Ridgewood NJ, in an effort to increase usership of NJ’s Recreational Saltwater Volunteer Angler Survey, the Division has developed a mobile device-compatible saltwater fishing reporting tool to make it easier than ever for recreational anglers to contribute valuable information and become part of the management process.

This new mobile reporting tool uses an interactive platform allowing anglers to report species they were targeting, the number of fish caught, their size, and how many were kept or released – all important data that fisheries managers use to assess the success of the fishery.

Anglers now have several options for reporting their catch: optimized for mobile devices, optimized for computers, or a printable form that can be mailed or emailed. All are available online.

The Division asks that anglers submit a report even when no fish are caught. Anglers should report each fishing trip in only one of the platforms.
