Description

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) have primary federal responsibility for managing fish and wildlife. The missions of NMFS and FWS have some broad similarities, which have prompted long-standing questions about whether merging the agencies would improve the efficiency or effectiveness of their programs. This report examines (1) the extent to which NMFS and FWS share key programmatic responsibilities; (2) potential benefits and drawbacks identified by agency officials and stakeholders of merging NMFS into FWS; and (3) potential benefits and drawbacks identified by agency officials and stakeholders of alternative organizational options. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
