Key Points
This resolution aims to teach the public about lake sturgeon, which are large fish that can live for over 150 years. These fish are often called living fossils because they have been around since the time of dinosaurs.
The plan encourages the government to work with states, Native American tribes, and Canada to protect the fish. It focuses on restoring their natural homes and stopping invasive species that hurt their population.
It also asks for better education for people who fish. This includes teaching them how to safely handle a lake sturgeon if they catch one by accident, as many states list them as protected or endangered.
