| Who We Are: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (515 words) |
| "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's mission is, working with others, to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people." We are the only agency of the U.S. Government with that primary mission. |
| The Service's major responsibilities are for migratory birds, endangered species, certain marine mammals, and freshwater and anadromous fish. |
| The Service's research function briefly became an independent agency and was eventually reorganized as part of the U.S. Geological Survey in 1996. |
