Canada's Fisheries Fund will transform and drive innovation in the fish and seafood sector in Canada with a focus on developing the sector to better meet growing market demands for sustainably sourced, high-quality fish and seafood products.

The overarching goal (purpose) is to support enhancements in marine safety and marine environmental protection in Canadian waters, while embracing the concepts of co-development and sustainable economic development.

The purpose of the Indigenous Habitat Participation Program and the Salish Sea Initiative, is to support the participation of Indigenous peoples in activities relating to the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat, including the development of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) policies, program elements and regulations and the development of their technical capacity to support greater involvement in the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat.

The purpose of the Indigenous Habitat Participation Program- Grant Funding is to meet the legal obligations to support the participation of Indigenous communities in consultations on Departmental Crown conduct (i.e., decisions, such as arrangements, approvals, authorizations and permits) under the Fisheries Act and/or Species at Risk Act.

To carry out the Government of Canada’s 2018 Nature Legacy for Canada, which includes supporting and leveraging efforts to protect and recover aquatic species at risk; and building Indigenous capacity.

Support aboriginal communities in becoming successful participants in commercial fisheries and aquaculture

NCGC is proposing to host an UNLEASH Canada Regional Innovation Lab, a 7-day innovation in-person conference that would bring together global talent from across the circumpolar north for events that aim to build capacity and generate innovative solutions.

Lab participants would be youth aged 18 to 35. It will benefit up to 200 Canadian youth, including 100 from the Territories and northern Canada, and 100 from Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Denmark, including Faroe Islands and Greenland), for a total of 300 youth.

The UNLEASH Regional Innovation Labs are ongoing events (in average every 2 years), and the next one will take place in Canada

This project aims to strengthen the advocacy of survivors’ networks in Iraq while addressing the implementation gap of the Yazidi Survivors Law by working with the Directorate of Victims and facilitating meaningful participation of Yazidi women and girl survivors in the process.

QI-Pro is an interactive tool for translating multiple subsurface seismic data attributes to geological properties. 3D viewing and manipulation is a significant enhancement that will enable comprehensive visualization of predicted properties and their uncertainties. Development in this project will include innovative simultaneous computation and 3D display algorithms that respond to the flexibility and interactivity of user investigation inherent in QI-Pro's unique approach.
