It is also responsible for enforcement of Mississippi's fish and game laws. It is separate from the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, which is the governing body for the state's natural salt-water resources and law enforcement thereof (i.e. Gulf of Mexico, ocean-going vessels, etc.). LeadershipThe Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is made up of five people and are known as the Mississippi Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks. These people are appointed by the Governor, however the state Senate must approve them. They serve for a five-year term.

The commission also carries out other duties, responsibilities and powers as they are instructed by government order such as by law or executive order from the Governor.
