Senate Resolution No. commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Sport Fish Restoration Program, which was established through the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act in 1950 and expanded by the Wallop Breaux amendment in 1984. 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 the importance of state agencies in managing fish populations and the collaborative efforts of anglers, the sportfishing industry, and various governmental bodies in funding conservation initiatives through license fees and excise taxes on fishing equipment and motorboat fuels.

The resolution emphasizes the significant financial contributions of the Sport Fish Restoration Program, which, along with license fees, has provided over $78 billion to state fish and wildlife agencies since 1939, making it the most substantial conservation effort in American history. It recognizes the successful partnership that has led to the restoration and enhancement of fish populations across the United States, celebrating the collective achievements of anglers, boaters, and conservation organizations in ensuring the sustainability of aquatic resources for future generations.
