Established in 1911, the Orangeburg National Fish Hatchery is dedicated to supporting the conservation, protection and enhancement of endangered and recreational fish species and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. It is part of a network of more than 70 federal fish hatcheries located across the country that help make up the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Fish Hatchery System. The hatchery works in collaboration with a wide variety of partners including other federal and state natural resource agencies, local governments, universities, landowners, community organizations and others.
