Pennsylvania June 19881$!. 50 Pennsylvania The Keystone State's Official Fishing Magazine Expenditures for recreation and leisure in Pennsylvania have increased greatly during the past 20 years, and recreation and leisure industries have become an economic force that affects the quality of life and the economic well-being of a large number of Pennsylvania residents. Pennsylvania's Recreation Plan for 1986 to 1990 identifies many issues and policies to be followed by federal, state, regional and local agencies to meet the Commonwealth's recreational needs. This plan was prepared by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, Office of Program Planning and Development, under the guidance of the Statewide Recreation Planning Advisory Committee and the Citizens Recreation Advisory Council. The Pennsylvania Fish Commission helped prepare this document as a member of the Statewide Recreation Planning Advisory Committee. A number of the major issues identified by this statewide planning document and its policies were developed for necessary action, and to provide guidance to the Commission in its efforts to increase fishing and boating recreational opportunities. The highest priority policy of the Commonwealth Recreation Plan is: ". to encourage adequate sources of funding to ensure that the park and recreation needs of Pennsylvania residents can be met." The Commission as an independent agency must provide most of its own funds by collection of fishing license fees and boat registration fees. The Commission has implemented steps to adjust these fees to realistic levels so that it can continue its present programs and meet the unanswered fishing and boating needs of the Commonwealth. Another priority need of the Commonwealth is to provide additional opportunities for recreation throughout the Commonwealth. The Commission has had a long­ standing program to provide public access to the lakes and waterways of the Commonwealth, and is constantly seeking new waters for expansion of fishing and boating opportunities. This program includes selective acquisition of land and waters for recreational purposes on a limited basis. The plan also identifies the need to place continued emphasis on the unmet recreational needs of special populations, such as handicapped/disabled, disadvantaged, or older citizens. As funds become available, the Commission is completing modifications and improvements to its existing access areas, lakes and other recreational facilities to meet the needs of special populations. Another priority of the plan is to continue development of environmental education programs for the purpose of educating our people to the importance of our environment. The Commission has implemented a pilot program and plans are in place for expansion of the Commission's educational and informational efforts in the public school system and to reach other citizens of the Commonwealth. Protection of our aquatic resources is mandated by the following policy, adopted in the recreation plan: "It shall be the policy of the Commonwealth to continue to support efforts to control the source of pollutants, including mine acid drainage, soil erosion, and acid precipitation which degrade the water quality of Pennsylvania streams and lakes." The Fish Commission's Bureau of Law Enforcement and Environmental Services Division are actively involved in protection of the Commonwealth's fragile aquatic- resources through their law enforcement and environmental review efforts. Many of the Commission's current goals and objectives closely match the basic Commonwealth policies designed to meet the recreational needs of our citizens. The Commission desires to expand efforts in many of these areas to serve the public better and to protect and enhance the aquatic resources of the Commonwealth. Fishing and boating recreation are important, not only to those seeking recreation and leisure-time activities, but to the economic well-being of Pennsylvania. Our programs and funding efforts need the continuing support of the fishermen and boaters who enjoy these resources, but the Commission also needs and deserves the support of all Commonwealth citizens, because they also benefit from efforts to protect our aquatic resources and expand and improve fishing and boating recreational activities.
