Expert advice & support
In 2008, the Fisheries Business Development Team (BDT) was established under the Atlantic Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative (AICFI), through a partnership arrangement between Ulnooweg and the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs. The BDT is also assisting communities with business development support through the Northern Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative (NICFI) and the Indigenous Marine Servicing Initiative (IMSI).
The BDT consists of a team leader and team members or business development advisors as well as the addition of two Fisheries Training Technical Advisors and Coordinators (TAC). The team has expertise and background in fisheries and aquaculture, business and community economic development.
