In
a world where the human population is expanding and consuming more land
for homes and businesses that was once fish and wildlife habitat, it is important
that someone look after the interests of fish and wildlife. That's why we're
here: to manage fish and wildlife species based on the best available science and
the scientific process that generates new information for informed, future
decision making.
Decisions based on science drives our management of fish and wildlife resources;
however, being successful resource managers in a regulatory agency requires more
than excellent technical skills. It involves integrating those technical skills
with the ability to work with people to craft and then implement sound policies.
The agency's mission is to provide sound stewardship
of fish and wildlife. The health and well-being of fish and wildlife is
important not only to the species themselves, but to humans as well. Often,
when fish and wildlife populations are threatened, their decline can predict
environmental hazards or patterns that also may have a negative impact
on people.
