Summary
The Fishable Waters Act of 2001 (S. 678) was designed to improve the health of American waterways by providing federal grants to states for the protection and restoration of fish habitats. The bill proposed empowering local "watershed councils" to design and carry out conservation projects, such as improving floodplain management and restoring urban streams to increase public access for fishing and recreation. For everyday citizens, this legislation aimed to create cleaner local waters, healthier fish populations, and expanded opportunities for outdoor activities through community-led environmental efforts.
