Re: Jersey City water front
He was performing a shoreline ecological engineering project which involved collection of river bottom samples to determine the effects of sedimentary, residue of man-made waste on tidal marine organisms. He was NOT fishing! Besides........he was eeling and not fishing.
I'm sure that the no fishing signs were illegally posted at a height or size that would not meet required regulatory standards. Besides that, the signs were not properly translated into the man's native language and there was no listing of the code number or statute on the sign, making any prosecution or enforcement impossible. But a conservation officer could cite him for not having a saltwater registration or any number of other fish and wildlife regulations.
This might make an interesting topic for another thread.
