The goal of the Division of Fishery Services is to fulfill the Bureau's responsibilities for technical assistance to other Federal agencies, the States, and Indian tribes to meet the Nation's needs for recreational and related commercial fishing. The Division's role in fishery management is chiefly of a cooperative nature. Authority to regulate and manage fishery resources is vested in the various State, excluding a few areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction.
