The resolution designates the first full week of June each year as "New Jersey Fishing and Boating Week," emphasizing the significance of fishing and boating as vital components of the American recreational experience. It highlights the connection these activities foster between residents and the outdoors, promoting healthy living and environmental stewardship. In 2011, New Jersey saw 766,000 anglers participating in fishing, and the state offers diverse opportunities for both fishing and boating, including saltwater and stream fishing, as well as various boating activities along its extensive coastline and inland waterways.

The resolution aims to encourage public participation in fishing and boating during this designated week, enhancing the quality of life for residents and fostering a greater appreciation for the state's natural beauty. It calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation to promote the week and urges the Division of Fish and Wildlife to publicize the event and coordinate free fishing days during that time. By doing so, the resolution seeks to engage families in outdoor activities, educate them about aquatic life, and promote conservation efforts, ultimately contributing to the well-being of both individuals and the environment.
