Does anyone know if NJ has any specific turtle harvesting regulations, and if so what they might be?
I'm not sure what New Jersey's specific regulations are for setting and maintaining aquatic turtle traps, but here in Wisconsin, we do have specific DNR provisions and requirements for turtle traps. For example, traps are required to be set with a certain amount of airspace above water, must have trapper identification/contact info, and must be checked and unloaded every 24 hours (last time I checked). There may also be bag and size restrictions for Snappers or other turtles.
