The Northern Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative (NICFI) provides funding to support Indigenous-owned communal commercial fishing enterprises and aquaculture operations. This specific stream focuses on aquaculture development for Indigenous groups and communities not eligible for the Atlantic or Pacific Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiatives. Funding can be used for activities such as expanding existing facilities, acquiring equipment, or purchasing an existing aquaculture operation. The initiative aims to enhance economic returns from fisheries and aquaculture for the local and broader benefit of communities.
