National Fishing and Boating Week Kicks Off

The National Fishing and Boating Week is a celebration of the nation's love for fishing and boating, with millions of anglers supporting coastal communities. During this week, NOAA Fisheries highlights the importance of recreational fishing as a cherished American pastime and recognizes the role of saltwater anglers in conserving marine resources and coastal ecosystems. The agency also supports projects that restore habitat through the National Fish Habitat Partnership and is working to improve recreational fisheries management with a new cloud-based Decision Support Tool.
