DescriptionThe Bureau of Water Monitoring annually evaluates the 30 shellfish growing areas in New Jersey for compliance with the guidelines of the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP). The NSSP manual requires a written update of the growing area Sanitary Surveys. The Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference (ISSC), a cooperative organization encompassing industry and regulatory representatives, provides cooperation in developing the specific NSSP requirements. This report provides a summary of each of the Shellfish Growing Areas for the 1996 sampling year.
