Management Services Provided By The Fish And Wildlife Service
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service Fisheries program has been in existence for 133 years. Their goal is to maintain the populations of all species of fish while also providing ample opportunities for the fishermen of the United States.
The Fisheries program consists of two different programs, the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance Program and the National Fish Hatchery System. The Fisheries program looks at species of fish that are in danger of extinction and works to rebuild their population, as well as to provide education to the public about those particular species of fish.
The Fish and Wildlife Service provides management services through the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program. Essentially, they are responsible for planning and overseeing the development or redevelopment of endangered species.
They are not directly involved in the repopulating; they simply provide a plan for doing it. After the hatchery fish are placed into a natural habitat, the Management Assistance program is responsible for monitoring population numbers, and determining whether a specific program is effective. In addition to all of this, they are responsible for educating the public about conservation of a fish species and aquatic life.
The National Fish Hatchery program in the Fish and Wildlife Service is largely responsible for maintaining the population levels of game fish, such as largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, which are native to certain areas.
They make sure that the states and fishermen are in compliance with state and federal fishing limits. These limits are set as a means of ensuring that the population of certain fish does not become depleted to the point that they cannot recover.
Fishing provides a valuable source of both food and recreation, along with a source of income for the local businesses that support the fishing industry. Disturbing a balance in population levels could upset the local economy in a tragic way.
