Saltwater Fishing Registry

Everyone 16 or older must register and carry the printed registration with them when fishing.

All saltwater anglers and for-hire vessel operators will now be able to register through the no-fee State system rather than the fee-based federal system. Anglers still must register with the state system even if they have already registered with the federal system.

Those who fish from a for-hire party or charter fishing vessel that is registered with the New Jersey Saltwater Recreational Registry Program are not required to file for an individual registration.

To learn more about the registry and to register, visit: www.saltwaterregistry.nj.gov

Public Safety Notice

Prevent your car from being broken into. Thefts from cars are most often crimes of opportunity in which a thief sees an easy target. Most vehicles have simple items, such as change, taken from them but the common denominator for most is that the vehicles were left UNLOCKED. Door handles are tried and if the car is locked they usually move on.

Reduce the chances that a criminal will want to break into your vehicle by locking your doors and removing valuables from the vehicle and out of sight.

Hurricane Season

Don't Feed The Seagulls!

White plastic bags are prohibited by ordinance to be left at the curb for pickup. The gulls attack these bags easily and create an unsanitary mess. Please use appropriate containers with lids or dark colored, heavy gauge, plastic bags for your trash.

For your convenience, the Lavallette Recycling Center located at the Public Works Complex accepts regular household waste from 7am, to 2:45pm every day. Please consider using this service to keep our streets and town clean.
