Harbours are key to the economic viability of Canadian fishing communities.
This new funding will go a long way in ensuring that the harbours will serve the community s needs for many years to come. In addition to providing needed protection to the vessels, the breakwater will reduce infilling, thereby eliminating the requirement for ongoing maintenance dredging. This two-year project is scheduled to commence in the summer of 2001 and should be completed by spring 2003. The wharf at Camp Cove will be extended by approximately 48 metres. This will greatly improve the wave climate in the south basin and also increase the berthing capacity.
