People in southeastern New Hampshire are living with fish and wildlife populations not seen in over years! The presence of abundant wildlife populations sometimes leads to the need to manage conflicts between wildlife and people. Fish and Game's regional staff in southeastern New Hampshire are literally wildlife referees!

We've had to relocate moose, deer and even bears regularly from cities in the region. The balancing act between humans, fish and wildlife becomes more complex by the year, and Fish and Game staff constantly monitor and adjust the "balance of nature" -- including monitoring for Avian Influenza and controlling the region's abundant deer population and associated risks of Lyme disease and vehicle collisions. Who will maintain this balance if Fish and Game cannot?

As a result, striped bass, cod and haddock are numerous once again after years of depletion. Fish and Game's regional law enforcement staff, along with their other enforcement and search and rescue duties, constantly monitor both recreational and commercial fishermen.

This continued oversight supports ongoing efforts to rebuild fish populations. Fish and Game marine biologists operate and maintain seven coastal fish ladders, resulting in the restoration of shad and alewives.
