Same here in Jersey
I had a dive this year that was really bad, mono was everywhere. We were all picking line off our gear even after we got back on the boat. You have to watch some of the new stuff too because it's even tough to cut with a knife. Shears seem to work better for it.
One nice thing is there is a fishing boat next to one of the dive boats I go out with. He trades us snag numbers for weights that we bring back. On the last trip we must of had about 25 lbs of lead sinkers that we brought to him.

WreckWriter once bubbled...
the biggest hazard around here is monofiliment (fishing line). Several times, while swimming along a wreck, I've been brought to a stop by it tangled around my legs. You can't see it unless its real heavy stuff and if you swim into it, it will grab you. A sharp knife is a must.
