The resolution designates the first full week of June each year as New Jersey Fishing and Boating Week, emphasizing the significance of these activities in enhancing quality of life and promoting environmental conservation. Fishing and boating are highlighted as essential components of American recreational culture, with millions of participants nationwide. In New Jersey specifically, the resolution notes that a substantial number of residents engage in fishing and boating, taking advantage of the state's diverse aquatic environments, including its coastline, bayshores, and inland lakes. The resolution aims to encourage public participation in these activities, fostering family bonding and environmental awareness.

To support this initiative, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation urging public officials and citizens to observe New Jersey Fishing and Boating Week with relevant activities and programs. Additionally, it directs the Division of Fish and Wildlife to promote the week and coordinate at least one of the state's free fishing days during this time. The overall goal is to celebrate and increase awareness of the recreational and ecological benefits of fishing and boating in New Jersey.
