The United States Commission of Fish and Fisheries was formed on February 9, 1871 to determine if America’s fisheries were declining, and if so, how to protect them.
Fast forward 153 years: our name has changed, but we remain committed to our mission – working with others to keep fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats safe, healthy, and productive for all Americans.
