The Rutgers Budget

As New Jersey’s premier state university, Rutgers derives its revenue from a mix of private and public sources. Like other public universities, Rutgers relies on government funding as a vital component of its annual budget. Along with tuition and fees, direct state appropriations and state-paid fringe benefits are the primary means of support for the university’s educational offerings.

Here's a survey for you. How many owners of fishing type recreational boats think that the regulations, that they keep shoving down our throats, have decreased the value of your boat for resale?? No more surveys just decrease the size limit so we don't have to keep killing the breeding fish!!!!

If I remember correctly, same info was wanted last year by R.U..

Hey RU : Nobody catches summer flounder north of Atlantic County!

Pennsy Guy,

The Rutgers survey conducted last year was regarding the Black Sea bass barotrauma and mortality rates, not fluke. I personally volunteered to fish with Dr. Doug and his staff from Rutgers. Very detailed and informative work here.
Doug even came to speak at several saltwater fishing clubs that I belong to.

Those in this forum can choose whether or not to participate. Attacking Rutgers and their professional marine science studies is not fair and accurate.

Bill: It's great to hear from you. Thanks for your support and encouragement. I hope that you've been getting into some great fishing this summer.

I understand everyone's frustrations with this year's regulations. This survey is part of the summer research project for an undergraduate student from Rutgers. The survey focuses on obtaining additional info about the tackle that anglers use to catch summer flounder (hooks, jigs, line, etc.) and their handling practices when catching them to ultimately try and increase catch-and-release survival of fish that are thrown back. The student and project are funded by the Rutgers Raritan River Consortium (http://raritan.rutgers.edu/rutgers-and-the-raritan/).

Thanks for the feedback and to those who are willing to complete the survey.

Cheers,
Doug
