Government Agencies |
The federal government
has the main responsibility for the inland and coastal
fisheries of Canada. However, the province has jurisdiction
over the fish once they have been landed, this includes
recreationally caught fish and those destined for processing
plants. Thus, the authority and responsibility for the
protection, management, and development, of Canadian fishery
resource is divided between federal and provincial governments.
What follows is a list of different government departments
and their main office address and phone. The government
pages in your telephone book give the local/regional offices
for these government departments in your area.
