The Maryland Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office, established in 1985, is dedicated to conserving and restoring fishes and aquatic species in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and Delmarva Peninsula in Maryland and surrounding states. Their focus includes inter-jurisdictional migratory fish, aquatic invasive species, and habitat restoration.
Working in collaboration with partners, the office conducts direct population studies and habitat restoration efforts for key species such as Striped Bass, American Shad, and American Eel. They also manage programs to control invasive Northern Snakehead populations and ensure sustainable management of species like Striped Bass, Atlantic and Shortnose Sturgeon, and horseshoe crabs along the Atlantic Coast.
