From an e-mail from the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife
on 10/6: :

All shellfish beds in New Jersey are now open, as a result of the reopening of shellfish beds in northern Delaware Bay today.

The NJ Department of Environmental Protection has also extended the oyster harvesting season in Delaware Bay until at least Nov. 30 - or until the annual quota is reached - to help the industry make up for lost time and revenues resulting from the closure of beds due to Hurricane Irene.

For more details please see the DEP news release.
