About Us

We provide a regional focus for the Service's mission to work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish and wildlife, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. This is accomplished by providing technical assistance, facilitation, and Service representation to the states, Native American tribes, and other entities to encourage cooperative conservation, restoration, and management of the fishery resources in the Snake River basin and the State of Idaho.
