The resolution, introduced by Senator Womack and Representative Riser, calls on the United States Congress to support and fully fund the Mississippi River Basin Fishery Commission Act, specifically H.R.1514 and R.S.1078 from the 119th Congress. It emphasizes the importance of the Mississippi River Basin, which is the largest watershed in the U.S. and encompasses parts of thirty-one states and two Canadian provinces. The resolution highlights the need for a collaborative approach to manage the basin's interjurisdictional fishery resources, particularly in light of the challenges posed by invasive species that threaten the ecological and economic sustainability of fisheries in Louisiana and beyond.

Furthermore, the resolution seeks to ensure that Louisiana is granted voting membership in the commission upon its establishment. It underscores the significant economic impact of freshwater fishing in Louisiana, which contributes over two billion dollars to the state's economy. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to relevant congressional leaders and Louisiana's congressional delegation to advocate for the passage and funding of the commission.
