What it does
The goal of Aquaculture Management is to contribute to an environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable Canadian aquaculture sector. To achieve that goal, the Program leads and manages the Departmental regulatory frameworks. The Program derives its regulatory mandate from the Fisheries Act and also takes a lead role in regulatory management of aquaculture in British Columbia. In all provinces and territories, DFO builds partnerships with other federal and provincial/territorial departments for coordinating and implementing regulatory frameworks and management decisions. Partnerships are also maintained with Indigenous peoples and the aquaculture industry. The Program’s regulation and policy development activities are supported by aquaculture research and peer-reviewed science advice carried out by the Department.

| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aquaculture Management | This program | 2018-19 – 2028-29 | $129M |
