We provide national leadership in the protection and restoration of fish, wildlife, and habitats that have been threatened or injured by oil discharges, releases of hazardous substances, or other emerging contaminants of concern.
What We Do
Our Services
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) works to protect and restore fish, wildlife and their habitats that have been threatened or injured by oil discharges, releases of hazardous substances, or other emerging contaminants of concern. 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 analytical chemistry support and technical assistance to other programs within the Service as well as our federal partners regarding environmental contaminants.
