Officially created in 1940, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can trace its roots through 136 years of public Service. Our roots include the establishment, by Congress, of the U.S. Fish Commission, to study the decrease of the nation's food fishes and recommend ways to reverse the decline, in 1871. Our roots also include the establishment of Pelican Island, the first bird sanctuary in 1903, and the Bureau of Biological Survey in 1905.
Throughout our history we have been on the forefront of natural resource conservation. Our mission is to work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We invite you to become a part of this history and to help shape the future, by lending your voice and skills to ecosystem management, environmental protection, and resource conservation.
