The seafood sector across Nova Scotia will be able to do more to reduce its carbon footprint with the new Fisheries and Aquaculture Energy Efficiency Innovation Fund. The program will support new projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced by boats, buildings and other commercial fisheries and aquaculture operations. Funding is also available to support adoption of clean technology in the sector.

Commenting on their target, Kent Smith, Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Executive Council of Nova Scotia, said, “Our industries are already leaders in fighting climate change through the investments they’re making to reduce energy use. With this new funding, they’ll be able to do even more to build a sustainable future and grow while helping Nova Scotia get to net zero.”
