In order to accommodate the instant gratification lifestyle that so many have become accustomed to the Division of Fish and Wildlife has made a mobile app, its website, listervs and phone numbers available for wildlife enthusiasts who are on the go, and we want you to know about them!

The Division also maintains eight listservs (e-mailing programs), enabling you to receive notification about regulations, events, news and other information in your Inbox. Lists include fishing (salt and freshwater), hunting, wildlife, education and more. To learn more and to sign up, go to the sign up for our marine fish & shellfish e-mail lists

Our Bureau of Marine Fisheries also has several useful resources. To register with the Saltwater Recreational Registry Program, submit information on a saltwater fishing trip, or view general information on salt water fishing in New Jersey and upcoming programs and events, visit the Saltwater Fishing page. If you'd rather have the latest updates sent directly to you via e-mail, sign up for our marine fish & shellfish e-mail lists. These lists allow us to quickly notify subscribers of important news, events, rule changes or other matters related to New Jersey's wildlife.
