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.
