We provide national leadership in the protection and restoration of fish, wildlife, and their habitats when they are threatened or harmed by illegal oil discharges, releases of hazardous substances, or other environmental pollution.

What We Do

Our Services

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) works to protect and restore fish, wildlife, and their habitats when they are threatened or harmed by illegal oil discharges, releases of hazardous substances, or other environmental pollution. To accomplish this, we provide planning, preparedness, and environmental response leadership; conduct natural resource damage assessment and restoration activities with our federal, state, and tribal partners and other stakeholders; and provide scientific and analytical services to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service programs, other Department of the Interior bureaus, and interagency initiatives.
