I guess you haven't been back to Jersey in a long time. The waters are very clean probably due to all the new regulations. Clams harvested in Sandy Hook Bay are no longer required to go through the "cleaning" process at Belford harbor. People are actually catching fish in NY harbor including right off the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan including Strippers, blues etc. For whatever reason NJ has a rough reputation but believe it or not we are not the crime capital of the US by a long shot and we have some of the best beaches in the country as well as rolling green hills and mountains. Tony Soprano no longer lives here.
I will acknowledge that years ago our waters were a mess with industrial waste and sewerage....no longer the case. I remember back in the 50's and 60's launching a newly painted or polished beautiful white hull and after a short cruise, it would be full of oil residue... no longer the case. ElectraSan treating systems aren't even legal anymore.
Come visit and see for yourself......you'll like it.
