Our Partners

Partnerships foster creative solutions to challenging situations and often the results are greater than the sum of the parts. Partnerships are essential to work done by the Central New England FWCO.  Learn more about our local partners:

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASFMC) has served the Atlantic coastal states, coordinating the conservation and management of Atlantic coastal fisheries for over 70 years. The Commission was formed in 1942 by 15 member states, because they recognized that they could accomplish far more through cooperation than through their individual efforts. The goal is to leave healthy and abundant fisheries for the next generation to enjoy.

The Amoskeag Fishway Partnership was formed in 1995 with the Public Service of New Hampshire (now Eversource), New Hampshire Audubon, New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The mission of the partnership is to increase science and environmental education opportunities at the Fishway and to enhance public awareness about the State's natural resources. All four partners continue to work cooperatively to create innovative, year-round educational programs and exhibits at the Amoskeag Fishways Learning and Visitors Center.
