Review of Federal Programs and Services in Support of Aquaculture Development

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Canada Office of the Commisioner for Aquaculture Development

Creation date: December 2002

The federal government and its provincial and territorial counterparts share jurisdiction over aquaculture. In the federal government alone, several departments and agencies have an influence on aquaculture development. As the primary organization responsible for this sector, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans felt it would be appropriate to prepare a list of federal government programs and services relating to aquaculture. DFO started developing this list in the summer of 2002 by means of a consultation with representatives of the Interdepartmental Committee on Aquaculture, which brings together more than 20 federal government departments and agencies responsible for aquaculture development in Canada.

This report presents the results of this exercise and sets out the aquaculture programs and services that are currently available within federal government departments and agencies.

The purpose of the report is to compile information from federal departments and agencies about existing aquaculture programs. The report presents an overview of the available programs and services; it is not intended to be an exhaustive description of all of the programs and services available to industry. This compilation may later form the subject of a more detailed study and analysis to identify gaps in federal programming, establish recommendations for the implementation of programs that meet industry needs and facilitate aquaculture sector access to existing programs and services.

Key Words: Canada • DFO • Policy and Regulation • Aquaculture Support and Infrastructure
