This was once a function of the National Fish Hatchery system. Farm pond stocking is not considered a Federal responsibility, and fish are no longer provided to individuals. All fish raised at Edenton NFH are stocked into public waters. Edenton NFH has an active public use program. The hatchery has a public aquarium, a raised boardwalk through a wetland area, and plans for classroom facilities that will be open in 1999.
All facilities are open to the public for self-guided tours.
Large groups, as well as small, are given tours by station personnel if arrangements are made in advance.
