Definition

  • The Mission of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department: As the guardian of the state's fish, wildlife and marine resources, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department works in partnership with the public to: * Conserve, manage and protect these resources and their habitats; * Inform and educate the public about these resources; and * Provide the public with opportunities to use and appreciate these resources. The N.H. Fisheries Commission was organized in 1865 by the N.H. Legislature in an effort to restore sea-running fish to the Merrimack and Connecticut rivers. Later, in 1935, the Legislature greatly expanded the state's role in managing wildlife resources by establishing the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and its commission. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is recognized by the public as a leader in conservation, and constantly strives to be one of the most effective fish, wildlife and marine resource agencies in the country. The Department derives its strength and direction from its employees, commissioners and volunteers; and from the citizens of New Hampshire, who entrust us with the responsibility of fish, wildlife and marine resource management and protection.
