Assessment accommodation

Work environment

Small Craft Harbours (SCH) is a nationwide program of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans which operates and maintains a national network of harbours in support of the needs of the commercial fishing industry. The mandate of SCH is to keep the harbours that are critical to the fishing industry open and in good repair. The program is delivered in cooperation with Harbour Authorities (local not-for-profit organizations) who manage the harbours. Low activity fishing harbours and recreational harbours are divested to third parties.

SCH is a decentralized program. The NHQ office in Moncton provides national coordination with five regional offices who manage program operations.

SCH pursues three main strategies to fulfill its mandate:
• Maintain a network of core fishing harbours;
• Promote and sustain the use of Harbour Authorities for the local management and operation of core fishing harbours;
• Transfer the ownership of non-core fishing harbours and recreational harbours to local communities through divestiture.
