Seafood Business Development Plan
Development of a Premium Seafood Business in New Brunswick

The long-term reliance on public funding had not allowed the Organization to create sustainable full-time equivalent employment nor become a consistent net contributor to the economy of New Brunswick.
Since 2006, the Organization has operated 350 acres of tidal estuary park land as a nature preserve providing public access to various habitats year round.
