The resolution commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Sport Fish Restoration Program, which is a crucial component of the American conservation funding system. It acknowledges the historical role of hunters and anglers as early conservationists who recognized the need to protect natural resources from overharvesting and habitat destruction. The resolution highlights the establishment of state agencies to manage fish and wildlife, the implementation of special fishing and hunting license fees, and the introduction of excise taxes on fishing equipment to support restoration efforts.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the significance of the Sport Fish Restoration Program, initiated by the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act in 1950 and expanded by the Wallop-Breaux amendment in 1984. It notes the successful partnership among the sportfishing industry, anglers, boaters, and state and federal agencies, which has led to the restoration and enhancement of fish populations across the United States. The resolution concludes by recognizing the contributions of these stakeholders and directs that copies be distributed to relevant agencies and media to raise awareness of their efforts in conserving the nation's fisheries and aquatic resources.
