For example, when an angler buys fishing and boating equipment, a portion of the proceeds goes to a fund, which is annually distributed to states by the U.S. Fish &amp; Wildlife Service through the Sport Fish Restoration Program. In 2014, more than $600 million was distributed to the states and federal agencies for efforts in conservation projects.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Projects supported by the fund include:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Acquiring and improving fish habitats <\/li>\n<li>Stocking nearly one billion fish annually <\/li>\n<li>Providing aquatic resource education opportunities to almost 1 million students annually <\/li>\n<li>Conducting state of the art fisheries research <\/li>\n<li>Maintaining thousands of public access fishing sites and boat ramps <\/li>\n<li>Constructing boat ramps, fishing piers and other facilities to make fishing and boating easier and more convenient <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Together, anglers and boaters contribute $1.5 billion annually to fisheries conservation efforts but even more can be done.<sup>1<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p>TakeMeFishing.org is a one-stop resource for fishing license and boat registration information, fishing and boating locations nationwide and &#8216;how-to&#8217; information to help plan your fishing and boating adventure.
