OUR MISSION

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. ​
