Reef off the New Jersey coast
A 398-acre parcel immediately southeast of the Atlantic City Ridge's main body, 23.2 nautical miles from Absecon Inlet. The ridge continues its line here, and so does the program: small pelagics on the troll, with tuna crossing when offshore water rides up the structure.
