Enhancing the knowledge-based economy within the province by promoting the creation of expertise that will be available to the industry.
Building and strengthening partnerships among research agencies and the private sector.
Focusing resources on aquaculture and fisheries related research and development capabilities.

The Initiative is administered by a Board of Directors representing the Department of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Rural Development, research agencies and the industry.
