Canada’s maritime community represents a diverse collection of interests, including:

• Ports
• Shipping and ship building
• Fisheries and aquaculture
• Recreational boating and tourism
• Oil and mineral resources
• Enforcement and defence

Diversity is the greatest asset of our maritime community. It also poses our greatest challenge. Canada’s maritime community is fragmented. Using a clear and united voice, we have the potential to become the most important sector of Canada’s economy. The Maritime Affairs Alliance is leading this effort through advocacy and education.
