2. Any such licensed dredging operation shall be limited to the use of dredges that shall conform to any limits established by the commissioner by rule or regulation adopted pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.). Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the commissioner may adopt rules or regulations fixing the hours during which dredging will be permitted. No such dredging operation shall be permitted at any time between June 1 and September 30 in each year, unless changed by emergency order or regulation. Unless otherwise provided by rule or regulation, all surf clams harvested within the waters of New Jersey (three nautical miles) shall not be taken into another state or the waters thereof until the clams have been first landed in New Jersey. It shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this section if a harvest vessel is observed by radar or other means leaving the waters of New Jersey and entering the waters of another state any time prior to landing.
