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 advocated for laws to protect natural resources from overharvesting and habitat destruction. It highlights the importance of funding for conservation efforts, noting that anglers supported excise taxes on fishing equipment to supplement license fees, which were insufficient for restoring healthy fish populations.

The resolution emphasizes the significant financial contributions of the Sport Fish Restoration Program and license fees, which have collectively exceeded $78 billion since 1939, making it the most substantial conservation effort in American history. It recognizes the collaborative efforts of the sportfishing industry, anglers, boaters, state fish and wildlife agencies, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in achieving successful fisheries management and restoring fish populations across the country. The Senate expresses gratitude to all parties involved in these conservation efforts and officially commemorates the anniversary on June 12, 2025.
