Requires DEP to assume responsibility for dredging of waterways providing boat access to lagoon communities; appropriates $6,000,000.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to take responsibility for dredging all waterways providing boat access to "lagoon communities" (coastal developments built with lagoons for property access), regardless of whether they're officially designated as navigational channels. It mandates the DEP to maintain these waterways for environmental and economic health, appropriating $6 million for the effort. The DEP must create a list of affected waterways within one year of the bill's effective date. This directly affects residents and property owners in these coastal communities who rely on boat access.
