Aquatic Habitat Conservation and Management

New FY 2008 Aquatic Habitat Conservation and Management Activity Summary (pdf - 870 Kb)

Background

Loss and alteration of aquatic habitats are principal factors in the decline of native fish and other aquatic resources, including the loss of biodiversity. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeks to provide sound conservation and management for aquatic habitat and thereby provide conservation for aquatic species as well.

Habitat and Ecosystem Health Program
The Habitat and Ecosystem Health Program focuses on improving habitat for federal trust resources including: federally-listed endangered or threatened species, interjurisdictional fish, migratory birds, refuge lands, and resource conservation priorities. Efforts are focused on stewardship, partnerships, fish and wildlife, and future generations. The program has two sub programs - the Fish Passage Program and the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program.
