The Quilcene National Fish Hatchery is a fish hatchery located in Quilcene, Washington, in the United States. It is co-managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and five Native American tribes. Like other components of the National Fish Hatchery System, the hatchery's mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats, as well to cooperate with like-minded partners to further these goals. Its specific purpose is to fulfill a United States Government treaty obligation to support fisheries of economic and cultural importance to Native Americans by producing fish which it stocks in Native American tribal waters in western Washington.
