The resolution acknowledges the historical role of hunters and anglers as early conservationists who recognized the need to protect America's natural resources from overharvesting and habitat destruction. It highlights their efforts in advocating for laws that established state agencies dedicated to the conservation of fish and wildlife, as well as their support for funding through special fishing and hunting license fees. The resolution emphasizes the importance of the Sport Fish Restoration Program, which has been instrumental in providing financial resources for fisheries conservation and management through excise taxes on fishing equipment and motorboat fuels.

Furthermore, the resolution celebrates the collaborative efforts of anglers, boaters, the sportfishing industry, and various state and federal agencies in achieving successful fisheries management in the United States. It notes that since 1939, these combined contributions have exceeded $78 billion, making it the most significant conservation initiative in American history. In recognition of these efforts, the House of Representatives of Alabama resolves to honor the contributions of these stakeholders in restoring healthy fish populations and aquatic resources, particularly in the 75th anniversary year of the Sport Fish Restoration Program. An official copy of the resolution will be distributed to relevant agencies and media to raise awareness of these contributions.
