I should have noted that the Secretary of the Interior controls funding for
several agencies including the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service is "the principal Federal agency responsible for
conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish and wildlife and their habitats
for the continuing benefit of the American people." (this is their official
description)
