The bark Sindia is not a scuba diving wreck, since it lies under 10-20 ft of sand. It is, however, of historic interest, since she was carrying a treasure in far-eastern porcelain and artworks, much of which is still thought to be buried inside her steel hull, waiting to be dug out.

New Jersey now requires registration for saltwater fishing, including lobsters. Registration is free and can be done online at nj.gov/dep/saltwaterregistry.

This listing is for New Jersey waters only - if you cross into New York or Delaware, or Federal waters ( more than 3 miles offshore, ) you are subject to their regulations. Federal regulations supersede state regulations whenever stricter.
