State Natural Resources Agencies

Recognizing the significant threat that COVID-19 poses to the American public, ASA supports federal and state land management and fisheries agencies modifying their policies to ensure the safety of their employees and the public.

ASA sent letters to the governors in all 50 states, and remains in frequent communication with them, asking them to:

  • Encourage the public to pursue reasonable and responsible fishing activities.
  • Keep fishing access sites open to the public as much as possible and make information on facility openings and closings widely available and accessible.
  • Ensure that the electronic purchase of fishing licenses, boat registrations and other permits are widely promoted and accessible to the public.
