NJDEP Division of Fish & Wildlife: Atlantic Sturgeon Research in Delaware Bay
As part of a multi-state collaborative effort, the Division has partnered with several states to develop a multi-year effort directed at providing state, federal, and regional management authorities with information necessary to successfully conserve and ultimately restore the population of sturgeon in the mid-Atlantic region.

The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife has deployed 7 acoustic receivers in the Delaware Bay to track migration patterns of Atlantic sturgeon. The receivers are generally set in water depths less than 20 feet. Those fishing in inshore waters may encounter the white buoys marked "NJDEP Research".
