To make matters more complicated they have different season lengths based on points north and south of the GW, one starts 4/1, the other 4/15.

The regulations are all over the board, so whatever the outcome of those discussions are might in fact impact portions of the Bay based on where the line is drawn.

This would have to be done by the Federal Government as NY has nothing to do with Sandy Hook and almost all of Raritan Bay. Where is the boundry line in the Hudson River? We need much more info on this. NY and NJ will never get together on anything!
