MO SCR55

Urges President Obama to include recreational fishing and boating in the oceans and Great Lakes as national priorities in the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force's final report and any resulting Executive Orders

Strongly urges Congress to take measures to mitigate or overturn any Executive Order implementing Task Force recommendations that do not include responsibly-regulated recreational fishing and boating as national priorities and do not ensure public water access

Notes that recreational fishing generates over $125 billion in annual sportfishing expenditures and supports over 1 million jobs

Clarifies that the resolution does not represent support for modifying the congressionally authorized project purposes of the Flood Control Act of 1944

Instructs the Missouri Senate Secretary to send copies of this resolution to President Obama, the Task Force Chairperson, Congressional leaders, and Missouri's congressional delegation
