Fish & Fish Habitat Protection Workshops
APC’s Fish & Fish Habitat Protection (FFHP) workshops have and continue to be a space for Atlantic First Nations communities and organizations to meet and discuss issues, gaps, and recommendations in DFO policies and frameworks with respect to the Fisheries Act, share stories about the fish and fish habitat work happening in the region, and to learn from one another and build meaningful relationships in the process.

- Codes of Practice

- Engagement Framework
- Fisheries Act Registry
