Are there any reciprocal license agreements with other states where marine
waters form boundaries with other states?
Yes, in certain waters, if a state grants New York recreational marine
fishing license holders fishing privileges in that state's portion of the
boundary water(s), then New York grants appropriately licensed anglers from
that state the privilege to fish in the New York portion of the boundary
water(s) without securing a New York recreational marine fishing license:

Connecticut: those parts of Long Island Sound lying between New York and
Connecticut
New Jersey: those parts of New York Harbor, Hudson River, Kill Van Kull,
Arthur Kill, Raritan Bay, and Atlantic Ocean lying between New Jersey and
New York, and
Rhode Island: those parts of Long Island Sound, Block Island Sound and the
Atlantic Ocean lying between Rhode Island and New York.
