The Atlantic Fisheries Fund is intended to help Canada’s fish and seafood sector to transition to meet the growing demand for seafood globally. Its aim is to bring high value, high quality and sustainable products to markets at home and around the world.

The Atlantic component of the fund applies to Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. It supports:

• innovation to encourage new products and technologies
• infrastructure to encourage capital investments in new products, processes or technologies
• science partnerships between industry, academia, and other research institutions to improve our knowledge

Applications will be accepted until all available funding for the fiscal year has been allocated to projects. Funding will become available again in the next fiscal year.
