The Senate Resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Sport Fish Restoration Program, established by the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act (Dingell-Johnson Act) in 1950. This program provides essential funding for the management, conservation, and restoration of sportfish populations and aquatic habitats across the United States, funded through excise taxes on fishing and motorboat equipment and fuels. The resolution highlights the program's significant role in sustaining the health of aquatic resources, ensuring fishing opportunities for millions, and preserving ecosystems for future generations. It is recognized as part of the American System of Conservation Funding, which has been instrumental in successful conservation efforts throughout the nation.

In New Jersey, the Sport Fish Restoration Program has greatly benefited the state's diverse aquatic habitats, contributing to the recovery of iconic species such as striped bass, brook trout, and American shad. The program has funded various conservation projects, fostering partnerships with local organizations to maintain ecological balance in the state's waterways. The resolution acknowledges the dedication of hunters and anglers who have historically advocated for the protection of natural resources, emphasizing the program's legacy in enhancing sportfishing and aquatic conservation in New Jersey and nationwide.
