Fishing License
The purchase of a fishing license in New York contributes to conserving fish populations. Proceeds from license sales go toward managing and restoring species populations, habitat protection, land acquisition, research and education activities related to fishing/boating, and supporting local economies while keeping recreational fishing alive throughout North America. Buying one also keeps recreational fishing alive – keeping recreational fishing alive across North America while supporting recreational fishing alive! The advantages of such licenses are obvious: populations are better managed. At the same time, anglers learn regulations, thus decreasing overfishing while increasing catch levels and catch rates that enable sustainable catch levels and reduced overfishing!
New York law requires an annual fishing license to fish legally.

Fishing also raises public awareness of its recreational value as it regulates how much can be caught each day (known as catch limits) so as not to overfish them.

Hunting Regulations
New Jersey hunters must abide by stringent hunting regulations.

You can obtain one by completing and submitting an application form with proof of age and license validity before hunting on Borough-owned land; additional safety awareness meetings must also occur before hunting begins.
Before hunting on private property, hunters must obtain permission from the owner to prevent damaging crops or buildings and ensure their equipment is in good condition; should any damages occur due to your hunting activities, you will be held accountable. In addition, it is wise to carry a hunting and fishing courtesy card just in case they come across law enforcement officials while out and about hunting.
Hunting on state game lands requires compliance with all relevant regulations; for instance, you cannot track on Sundays except at wholly enclosed preserves that have been appropriately licensed for deer propagation or private property during prescribed seasons. Furthermore, no hunting should occur in cultivated crops, orchards, fields, fence rows, or cultivated crops without permission from their owner, lessee, or occupant. Trespassing onto posted land without their express permission is illegal.

Fishing Advisory Board
The Fishing Advisory Board provides advice to the federal government on fisheries matters. Members are selected based on their expertise and experience related to Nunavut fisheries issues, emphasizing social, governance, business, and employment aspects of commercial marine fisheries and making independent decisions regarding access and allocation of resources in marine waters around Nunavut.
The FAC strives to balance the needs of anglers, hunters, trappers, and the general public while adhering to conservation, environmental, economic, and social values when managing fisheries resources. Its primary responsibility lies with optimizing existing fishing areas for handicapped anglers and urban youth and developing new access areas; additionally, it keeps the public up-to-date regarding resource issues and activities and accomplishments of the Fisheries Division.
FAC also advises on other issues affecting fisheries in New York State, such as advisories for fishing and game, regional patterns for mercury in certain species (e.g., trout), recreational fishing stewardship plans, and budget issues. The commissioner is an ex officio member and may vote to break ties when necessary.
Contrary to other statutory bodies, the FAC is comprised of volunteers. As such, its role includes selecting the chairperson and vice-chairperson of the Committee, setting agendas for all its meetings and subcommittees, adhering to federal law and policy requirements when in session, and producing annual reports detailing its work.
The advisory board represents anglers’ interests when developing shared management actions with Canada. Composed of individuals representing all aspects of fishery management, including commercial and recreational fishermen, for-hire operators, dealers, sportsmen’s organizations, and scientists – it meets monthly at Bison City Rod & Gun Club in Buffalo.
