The Alpena Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (Alpena FWCO) is located in Alpena, Michigan on the shore of Lake Huron and is part of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Midwest Region (Region 3).

The office meets Service fishery goals in Lake Huron, western Lake Erie, and connecting waterways of the St. Marys River, St. Clair River and Detroit River. Alpena FWCO provides a regional focus for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's mission by providing assistance to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, States, Native American Tribes and other interested entities -- encouraging cooperative conservation, restoration and management of the fishery resources of the Great Lakes Basin.

In addition to fisheries, the office houses an Aquatic Habitat Unit that addresses fish passage concerns and the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program.
