Together we are committed to ensure the sustainability of the commercial fishing industry in Manitoba.
OUR VISION
|
We intend to ensure the commercial fishing industry of Manitoba continue to flourish and is available to be passed down to families for decades to come. This industry is a vital part of Manitoba’s economy and as such creates thousands of jobs and is in large part a major foundation for many of our rural communities. The Manitoba Government and the Commercial fishers need to work hand in hand to develop the long-term strategy to ensure this industry continues to operate in a sustainable manner.
