The high cost of transportation and energy in the province further exacerbates these cost constraints, making it challenging for industry stakeholders to remain competitive. To be successful, applicants must demonstrate an understanding of the province's unique industry dynamics and the cost constraints faced by fisheries stakeholders. The funding available through this grant opportunity is designed to support initiatives that address these cost constraints and promote industry diversification. Unlike neighboring Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador's grant applications require specific consideration of the province's offshore fisheries and the unique challenges of processing and transporting seafood products. Fisheries Industry Challenges in Newfoundland and Labrador: The province's fisheries industry is characterized by a high degree of dependence on a few key species, with 70% of the province's fisheries revenue coming from crab and shrimp.

Eligible applicants may include industry associations, cooperatives, and individual businesses.
