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 lies on inter-jurisdictional migratory fish, aquatic invasive species, and habitat restoration efforts.
Working in collaboration with partners, the office conducts direct population studies and habitat restoration projects to conserve and restore species such as American Eel, American Shad, and River Herring. They also manage programs to control invasive species like the Northern Snakehead and ensure sustainable management of species like Striped Bass, Atlantic and Shortnose Sturgeon, and horseshoe crabs in the mid-Atlantic region.
