description: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is the federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and
  enhancing fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. USFWS programs cover
  migratory birds, endangered species, interjurisdictional fish and marine mammals, and inland sport fisheries. Public-facing
  data is shared primarily through web tools and downloadable datasets such as the Environmental Conservation Online System
  (ECOS), Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC), and the Service Catalog (ServCat) rather than a consolidated public
  API program.
