Requires the Department of Land and Natural Resources to recognize that game mammals and game birds provide a food source, that striking an appropriate balance between the management of game mammal and game bird populations and sustainability of the animals' natural habitats to reduce negative impacts to important watershed areas is a priority, and that the State's unique relationship with the ocean requires careful consideration and management of land and ocean activities that prioritize the public trust responsibilities of the State. Requires each department, office, or agency of the State to update the department, office, or agency's rules and policies to integrate the local hunting and fishing industries into any food security or sustainability strategies that department, office, or agency employs.
