It’s Back! Seismic Testing!

“The State University of New Jersey at Rutgers (Rutgers), with funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), proposes to conduct a high-energy, 3-D seismic survey on the R/V Marcus G. Langseth in the northwest Atlantic Ocean ~25–85 km from the coast of New Jersey in summer 2015.”

Proposed Seismic Survey off Barnegat Inlet

Good news on the proposed Seismic Survey off Barnegat Inlet later this summer. “NSF has decided to extend the public comment period by an additional 15 days above and beyond the 37 days it was planned to be open for comment. The public comment period will now close on February 9, 2015, 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time.” Last year’s attempt was stymied by equipment failure. Please let them know what you think of this situation by sending an email comment to:

nsfcommentnj@nsf.gov

We are searching for studies done on the effects of their equipment on recreational divers and will post and inform our community when the final Environmental Assessment has been published. The proposed Environmental Assessment can be found here:

Not sure I speak for everyone when I say " If is has to be done, why not do it when people are not actively fishing like in the winter" ?
