It’s official! BCSGA has received $363,800 from the Government of Canada through PacifiCan’s Regional Tariff Response Initiative!
This funding will support market diversification, buyer engagement, industry analysis, and a more resilient B.C. shellfish sector.

The BCSGA is calling for the recognition of Aquaculture as Agriculture by the Federal Government. Shellfish farmers are part of Canada's sustainable agriculture!
