This article is a list of provincial and territorial fish and wildlife management agencies in Canada, by province or territory. Fish and wildlife management is primarily a provincial and territorial responsibility in Canada, with each province or territory having its own dedicated agency or department.[1] While the exact names and structures vary by province and territory, fish and wildlife agencies are often found within ministries such as the Ministry of Natural Resources, Department of Energy and Resource Development, Department of Natural Resources, or Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. Canada also has the federal department of Natural Resources Canada, as well as park wardens that work for Parks Canada in managing and protecting fish and wildlife in Canada's national parks.[1]
