Welcome to Northeast Region's Fisheries Program

The Service's Fisheries Program maintains healthy populations of coastal and anadromous fish (fish that spend part of their lives in fresh water and part in the ocean), fish species that cross state or national boundaries, and endangered aquatic animals and their habitats.

In the Northeast Region, 25 fishery management offices and national fish hatcheries work with states and other partners to restore and protect a variety of fish and other aquatic species. Examples include Atlantic salmon, striped bass, American shad, river herring, sturgeon, horeshoe crab, American eel, and lake trout. Stable fish populations are important because they indicate healthy river systems that can sustain fishing and other water-based recreation.
