Our Members
The fishing industry is at the front line of the changes in the marine environment. They understand that the impacts of offshore energy development stand to be felt far afield from where the projects are located and believe that through effective communication and consultation, both the commercial fishing industry and offshore energy industry can co-exist towards a positive future.
Our members include representatives from the majority of the harvesters fishing our maritime waters whom are stewards of the resources they sustainably harvest from.

Members have a shared vision of co-existence and sustainability for their industry and believe that through good planning, they can create a future blue economy that will support all marine users – both those that have traditionally used these waters for centuries and new users supporting a net-zero transition.
By working together, the fishery and offshore wind energy can co-exist towards a prosperous net-zero future to the benefit of all Nova Scotians.
