What is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services about?



                          What is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services about?

Nicole Price  

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services' purpose is to work with others to enhance, protect, and conserve fish, plants,  wildlife, and their habitats for the continual benefit of the American people. They're the only agency in the federal government working on conservation for the benefit of the people. The fish and wildlife services also happen to be one the oldest programs to focus on natural resource conservation. They are responsible for implementing some of the U.S.'s biggest environmental laws, the migratory bird treaty, and the endangered species act to name a few. These responsibilities are obtained via a number of different activities, offices, and programs that work to:

  •  Help fulfill our government's federal tribal trust responsibility;
  • Recover and/or protect threatened species; 
  • Restore important fisheries;
  • Help foreign countries via international conservation efforts;
  • Regulate international wildlife laws and federal wildlife laws;
  • Conserve and restore wetlands and other fish/wildlife habitats

Their services date back all the way back to 1871.

    I think that it is very interesting how much work we put in to helping save and protect our animals and we still can't protect them all the way. I think that its very interesting all of these different work places have jobs to help protect and they all have some from of safety for these animals.

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
