About NDOW
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) is the state agency responsible
for the restoration and management of fish and wildlife resources,
and the promotion of boating safety on Nevada’s waters.  NDOW
is organized into seven divisions (law
enforcement, game, fisheries,
conservation and education, habitat,
wildlife diversity, and operations
division) that develop programs and projects, and three regions
(eastern, southern and western) that implement these programs.
In addition, NDOW has placed emphasis on agency planning activities,
wildlife diversity and support operations (engineering, air operations,
communications) by assigning senior management level personnel to
coordinate these efforts.
The Nevada Board of Wildlife
Commissioners, a 9-member, governor-appointed board, is responsible
for establishing broad policy, setting annual and permanent regulations,
reviewing budgets, and receiving input on wildlife and boating matters
from entities such as the 17 county
advisory boards to manage wildlife.
NDOW's Mission:
To protect, preserve, manage and restore wildlife and its habitat
for their aesthetic, scientific, educational, recreational, and
economic benefits to citizens of Nevada and the United States, and
to promote the safety of persons using vessels on the waters of
Nevada.
