The Coast of Bays region is adjacent
to the richest fishing grounds in the world and it has a workforce skilled in both
harvesting and processing. For some 500 years, the fishery has held pride of
place in the Coast of Bays, and the region owes its very existence to the rich resource. A
solid infrastructure exists for the industry, featuring three primary processing plants
designated as "multi-species core" under the provincial government's new fish
processing policy.
The fishing industry has recently taken a new approach with diversification, quality
and value-added processing in the forefront. The future of the fishery lies in the
utilization of both traditional and non-traditional species. The configuration of existing
processing facilities provides an infrastructure base for upgrading to secondary
processing such as canning and smoking.
With expanding global markets for seafood products, the clean Atlantic waters of the
Coast of Bays offer tremendous opportunities for innovators, investors and entrepreneurs.
The abundance of groundfish, pelagics, snow crab, sea urchins, lobster, shrimp, skate,
eels, shark and seaweed provides the region with tremendous potential for diversification
and value-added processing for local and international markets.
We combine the advantages of rich resources, knowledgeable and efficient workers,
strong commitment to quality and strategic location for fast shipments to world markets.
The Coast of Bays offers the investor the chance to become a world leader in speciality
foods and delicacies.
