Aquatic & Fisheries Capacity Development Team

The Capacity Development Team

Partners in Indigenous Aquatic and Fisheries Management

The Capacity Development Team (CDT) is here to support your fisheries and aquatic resource management capacity needs through structured organizational and technical capacity development activities and coordination of skills development and training opportunities. Our focus is to support and develop the capacity of Indigenous communities and organizations participating in aquatic and fisheries management in Atlantic Canada, coastal Quebec, the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and British Columbia.

Professional Advice and Support

Our qualified team of professionals will work with you to identify, plan, and implement the organizational and technical capabilities you need now and into the future.

Voluntary and Confidential
