Consultation is an integral component of the review process for aquaculture projects. Both the provincial and federal governments have policies in place that require public consultation on government activities. Government also assesses aboriginal interests prior to making decisions with respect to Crown land dispositions or water allocations. Consultation with First Nations is an integral part of the aquaculture site assessment process.
