The resolution designates the first full week of June each year as "New Jersey Fishing and Boating Week" to emphasize the significance of fishing and boating in enhancing the quality of life and preserving the state's natural beauty. Fishing and boating are highlighted as essential recreational activities that connect residents to the outdoors, promote healthy living, and encourage environmental stewardship. In 2011, New Jersey saw 766,000 anglers spending 9.5 million days fishing, showcasing the state's rich opportunities for both fishing and boating across its parks, coastline, and inland waterways.

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 community participation in these recreational activities while highlighting their benefits for families and the environment.
