The National Park Service manages fish and fishing to conserve native fish for future generations. As an angler, you are an important part of conservation. When you fish, you are helping to manage the resource while also recreating in the country's most treasured landscapes. Anglers have contributed billions of dollars to conservation through revenues from licenses and excise taxes on sport fishing tackle, some boat engines, and small engine fuel.
