This resolution urges Congress to affirm that the Piscataqua River and Portsmouth Harbor are entirely within the jurisdiction of New Hampshire. It emphasizes that the state holds complete dominion over the tidal waters and submerged lands of the river and harbor, which are vital to New Hampshire's interests. The resolution highlights the need for adequate protection and management of these waters to ensure public trust and use, especially given the lack of enforcement and security in the area.
Furthermore, the resolution calls on the New Hampshire congressional delegation to introduce legislation to clarify the boundary between New Hampshire and Maine in the inner Piscataqua River, asserting that Seavey Island and Badger Island also fall within New Hampshire's boundaries. It requests that the President of the United States designate the duty stations of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard personnel as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The resolution concludes with a directive to send copies to relevant congressional members and the President.
