Which act is specifically used for fish restoration and management?

The Dingell-Johnson Act, also known as the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act, is specifically designed for the restoration and management of fish populations. Enacted in 1950, this act provides federal funding to states for programs related to the conservation of freshwater and marine fish species. It generates revenue primarily through taxes on fishing rods, reels, and other fishing tackle, as well as import duties on fishing equipment. The funds collected are allocated to various state fish and wildlife agencies for enhancing fish habitats, improving recreational fishing opportunities, and conducting research aimed at sustaining fish populations.

In contrast, the Pittman-Robertson Act focuses on the funding of wildlife restoration and management programs for terrestrial animals, while the Federally Funded Fishing Management Act does not exist as a recognized piece of legislation, and the Wildlife Conservation Act encompasses broader wildlife management issues, rather than being specifically targeted at fish.
