“The partnership with Fish and Wildlife is an invaluable agreement that benefits both their organization and ours. It’s a further commitment to increase opportunities for our brotherhood,” said. International President, Hon. Bro. Chris V. Rey, J.D.

ABOUT U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a bureau within the U.S. Department of the Interior and the nation’s oldest conservation agency. Our origins date back to 1871 when Congress established the U.S. Fish Commission to study why the nation’s food fishes were decreasing and recommend ways to reverse that decline.
Though the name of our agency has changed multiple times over the years, what endures is the collective dedication of Service employees to face the conservation challenges of their day—and now, our day—with ingenuity, integrity, and hard work. Fortunately, our history shows that we’ve always been up to the challenge.
