The Strategic Plan at a Glance
Our Waters, Our Future is based on a sensible
approach to doing business. That means using an integrated
approach to planning that balances our commitments (what we
must and want to do) with our available resources (what we
can do).
Our Story
The work of Fisheries and Oceans Canada is important to
Canadians. As a department, we ensure Canada's fisheries,
freshwater and oceans are sustainable resources for the
benefit of generations to come. We do this by keeping our
oceans and freshwater healthy and full of aquatic life, by
managing fisheries to be sustainable resources, and by
maintaining the waterways so they are safe and accessible
for the use of mariners and all Canadians. Our work also
reflects key Government of Canada commitments like the
Oceans Action Plan and delivering on federal
responsibilities to Aboriginal communities.
