## What We Do

#### Our Services

The Pacific Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spans one ocean, four states and multiple territories. We work with partners to protect thousands of species of birds, fish, animals, and the places they live.We wake up across the international date line on Wake Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, nearly 2,000 miles southeast of Tokyo. The sun rises for us again on the Idaho border where elk and sage-grouse roam, and finally sets on the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial. 

Our regional office is in Portland, Oregon. The leadership team for the Pacific Region includes a regional director and several assistant regional directors. 

The Pacific Region includes: American Samoa; Guam; Hawaii; Idaho; Northern Mariana Islands; Oregon; and Washington.
