Saltwater Fishing Access Sites in New Jersey

The Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) maintains an online database of saltwater fishing access sites and locations which directly support recreational fishing that serves as the sample frame for their shoreside survey of recreational anglers. The Site Register (SR) is a database of all access sites along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States from which saltwater recreational fin-fishing may occur. Information provided for each site in the SR includes site descriptors, site location, and recreational fishing activity information by fishing mode (fishing from shore, private or rental boat fishing, charter boat fishing, or headboat fishing). The SR database is maintained at NOAA Fisheries and is accessed by private or public guest account on the website: https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/siteregister/html/siteRegister.jsp (or by searching for ‘MRIP Site Register’ in any web browser). The data contained within this data layer was exported from the SR on February 1, 2021.Locations identified as "Retired" within the original database were not mapped as these locations may no longer exist or may be hostile for MRIP survey purposes. Within New Jersey, 61 locations from the original February 1, 2021 data export were designated as "Retired".Upon creation of the GIS layer based upon the MRIP data, staff from the NJ Marine Fisheries Administration (MFA) reviewed the layer in order to determine whether any additional locations should be included. Upon completion of that review, one additional location was submitted by MFA staff to be included in the GIS product and is included in this dataset. MFA locations can be identified as those points with a Site ID beginning with the number 99000.海洋休闲信息项目（Marine Recreational Information Program, MRIP）维护着一套海水垂钓场地与点位的在线数据库，该数据库直接为休闲垂钓活动提供支撑，同时作为其休闲垂钓者岸基调查的抽样框架。场地登记册（Site Register, SR）收录了美国大西洋及墨西哥湾沿岸所有可开展海水休闲有鳍鱼类垂钓的场地信息。该登记册中每个场地的信息包含场地描述、场地位置，以及按垂钓方式分类的休闲垂钓活动数据，垂钓方式涵盖岸钓、私人/租赁船只垂钓、包租游船垂钓及团体钓鱼船垂钓。场地登记册数据库由美国国家海洋和大气管理局渔业部（NOAA Fisheries）维护，可通过访问网址https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/siteregister/html/siteRegister.jsp 使用私人或公共访客账户登录查看，或通过任意网页浏览器搜索“MRIP Site Register”获取相关入口。本数据图层包含的数据集于2021年2月1日从场地登记册中导出。原始数据库中标记为“已停用”的点位未被纳入本图层，原因是这些点位可能已不存在，或不适用于MRIP的调查用途。在2021年2月1日导出的原始数据中，新泽西州共有61个点位被标记为“已停用”。基于MRIP数据创建地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）图层后，新泽西州海洋渔业管理局（New Jersey Marine Fisheries Administration, MFA）的工作人员对该图层进行了审核，以确认是否需要纳入额外点位。审核完成后，MFA工作人员新增了1个点位并将其纳入本GIS产品中，该点位同样包含在本数据集内。MFA新增的点位可通过以数字99000开头的场地编号（Site ID）进行识别。
