The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is an independent Commonwealth commission dedicated to protecting, conserving, and enhancing the state's aquatic resources while providing fishing and boating opportunities. Comprised of 10 commissioners appointed by the governor, the agency operates without PA general fund tax revenue, relying on user-generated funds from fishing license sales and federal aid.
With a mission to support aquatic preservation, the Commission administers grants programs aimed at conserving and enhancing fishing, boating, and aquatic resource opportunities across Pennsylvania. Operating out of multiple regional offices, the agency's field operations include state fish hatcheries that spawn, raise, and stock various fish species to promote vibrant life and recreational activities on the state's waterways.
