Atlantic Fisheries Fund

The Atlantic Fisheries Fund is a contribution program funded jointly by the federal, provincial and territorial governments. It will invest more than $400 million over 7 years.

The program aims to help Atlantic Canada's seafood sector transition to meet growing market demands for products that are:

• high quality
  value added
  sustainably sourced

The federal government will provide 70% of the funding, and 30% will come from participating Atlantic provinces.

Atlantic component

The Atlantic component will focus on 3 pillars.

• Innovation encourages the development of new products and technologies in the harvesting, aquaculture and processing sectors.
  Infrastructure encourages new technologies and processes to improve sustainability.
  Science partnerships form industry-based collaborations with academia and other research institutions to improve our knowledge and understanding.

Funding is available for projects that meet the eligibility and assessment criteria in:

Nova Scotia
New Brunswick
Prince Edward Island
Newfoundland and Labrador

Market access and development national component

As part of the broader Atlantic Fisheries Fund, there will be a national component supporting market access and development of Canada.

Funding will be available for projects that meet the eligibility criteria across Canada, in participating provinces and territories.
