Fishers, whose status was ‘undetermined’ by the panel of mammalian experts, have returned to New Jersey in limited numbers thanks to reintroduction efforts in New York and Pennsylvania.

Fishers have been documented in several northern and southern New Jersey counties, with several vehicle mortalities recovered from northern counties.

Two fishers were captured incidentally via cable restraint sets in Warren County during 2015-16 and released unharmed.
