Each year, state fish and wildlife agencies receive a portion of the Sport Fish Restoration Fund based on their land and water area and the number of licensed anglers in the state. State agencies submit project proposals to address individual needs and priorities. Funds may be used for fisheries management and research, habitat purchase and restoration, boating and fishing access and aquatic and angler education programs. What that money does is help to build brand new boating access and new fishing access areas, educate students in fishing skills and aquatic ecology and fund many research and inventory projects to restore and manage fish populations. In a nutshell, it is one of those programs in which everyone wins, including the resources.
