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 vital components of the American recreational experience, with millions of participants nationwide. In New Jersey, the state's diverse natural resources, including its coastline, bayshores, and inland lakes, provide ample opportunities for fishing and boating, which are also seen as beneficial for family bonding and stress relief.

To promote this initiative, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to engage in related activities and programs during this week. Additionally, the Division of Fish and Wildlife is tasked with publicizing the event and coordinating at least one of the state's free fishing days to coincide with New Jersey Fishing and Boating Week. This effort aims to foster greater participation in these recreational activities and to appreciate the state's natural beauty during one of the best times of the year.
