Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

The mission of FWS is to work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. This is accomplished through the dedicated efforts of more than 8,000 FWS employees. Half of those employees are trained scientists and many are biologists and managers. To accomplish the mission of the Service effectively, those professionals must have access to scientific knowledge and interact regularly with other scientists, both inside and outside the Service. In addition, Service employees should be recognized nationally and internationally for their scientific professionalism, which includes not just technical achievements and contributions, but also participation and contributions to professional societies, contributions to scientific journals and the scientific literature in general, and collaborative ventures and partnerships with other scientists and resource managers inside and outside the Service.
