Fish and Wildlife Special Licenses and Permits
Special Licenses are issued for the use of fish, wildlife, and other regulated species for activities authorized in Article 11 of the Environmental Conservation Law. These special licenses authorize use of the State's fish and wildlife resources which would otherwise be prohibited. The Department of Environmental Conservation strives to provide the widest range of beneficial uses of these resources while ensuring the health and safety of the public and that of our fish and wildlife populations and their natural environments.
