Fishery Resource Offices: Fishery Resource Offices are one of two types of Fishery Management Offices in the Pacific Region of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Fishery Resource offices assist in the collection, evaluation, coordination, and dissemination of fisheries information to help restore declining fish species, recover species listed under the the Endangered Species Act, preclude the need for future listings of new species, and provide science-based management of aquatic resources. They provide long-term monitoring, evaluation and technical support to assess the status of fish and aquatic species populations. They provide technical assistance to agencies that have authority to set fish management regulations and to many land owners (e.g., federal, state, tribal, and private) to prevent the loss of, damage to, and best management practices for the long-term benefit of fish and their habitats. Fishery Resources Offices promote interagency coordination by serving on technical and policy level workgroups (committees, councils, commissions, etc.) in the areas of hydrosystems, harvest, hatchery, and habitat management.
