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 American recreational culture, with millions of participants nationwide. In New Jersey specifically, the resolution notes the state's rich natural resources, including its extensive coastline, bayshores, and lakes, which provide ample opportunities for fishing and boating. 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 engage in related activities and programs during this week. Additionally, the Division of Fish and Wildlife is tasked with publicizing New Jersey Fishing and Boating Week and coordinating at least one of the state's free fishing days to coincide with the designated week. The resolution is intended to promote outdoor recreation and highlight the importance of preserving New Jersey's natural beauty.
