With an aim to help save endangered fish species, the US Fish and Wildlife Service and angling app FishBrain have joined hands to create a new app. The app will help people identify, report and have more knowledge about endangered and species at risk in the US.

Experts said it will be a social network app meant for American anglers and others will be free to use it. The Android and iOS app can be downloaded for free and has been designed to encourage people to play an important role in conservation.

FishBrain is already quite a popular app among anglers in America. The app is meant for one and all, but is primary focus will be on those people who spend more time near bodies of water within the US borders like anglers.

Johan Attby, FishBrain CEO, said, “The natural world is such an important aspect of everyone’s lives, but it is anglers who are able to experience and appreciate it on a day to day basis”.

Gary Frazer, Assistant Director of the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s Ecological Services Program, said education and engagement are considered to be first step towards conservation. Anglers play an important role when it comes to protection and ensuring healthy aquatic habitats.
