Support NJ's Seafood Industry

New Jersey's local seafood industry has been adversely affected by COVID-19 along with most of the state's businesses. The Department of Environmental Protection has developed the Support NJ Seafood Web Map Application which provides locations of seafood markets that sell seafood products that have been landed, grown or harvested in New Jersey and are open to the public.

The current BETA version of the Support NJ Seafood web map can be launched here: www.nj.gov/dep/njseafood.

This is a prototype for what DEP and the NJ Department of Agriculture (NJDA) are working on for all of New Jersey's seafood industry. 

They look forward to adding more seafood businesses, retailers, and markets in the final version. Together NJDEP, NJDA and Rutgers Cooperative Extension will be using feedback received from this soft launch, as well as industry surveys, and responses through our contact lists to build a story map that will help connect many more businesses and seafood lovers in the very near future.

If you would like your business to be added to the story map please complete and submit the Support NJ Seafood Application Form (pdf, 210kb)

For questions or assistance e-mail supportnjseafood@dep.nj.gov
