The NFHS is able to conserve U.S. fishery resources by:
* preserving the genes of wild and hatchery-raised fish;
* restoring fish populations that have declined;
* protecting threatened and endangered fish and restoring them to their native waters;
* providing fish health services;
* providing Native American tribes with native and recreation fisheries;
* making up for the loss of fish as a result of Federal water projects, such as canals and dams; and
* serving as education, outreach, and research stations
