I am looking from some advice on find a career that has to do with fishing/outdoors or being on the water and advice would be great. I'm willing to go to school if need to be.

Welcome to the forums. Most states are in need of game wardens. Pay is low and it can be dangerous but guys (and gals) that do it love it.

Aquatic Biology program - it's what I was studying until I ran out of money (cough) 40 years ago (cough).

Specialties include

Wetlands Ecology
Fisheries Biology
Aquatic Systems (my specialty)

 

All qualify you for a career in your state's Department of Natural Resources/Department of Fish and Game/etc.

 

Basically your whole career with that revolves around the water.

Many universities offer degrees in Natural Resources Management, Fish or Wildlife Management, Water resource management, Forestry, or various sub-specializations.  The curriculum in these areas would variously include courses in plant and animal biology, ecology, physical geography, geology, hydrology, and environmental science, as well as more narrow areas. Here's an overview of Fish & Wildlife Management degrees, for instance:

You're in VA... I googled around and saw these programs at VA Tech:
