The habitat protection provisions of the Fisheries Act enable the federal government to make decisions about the impacts of development projects in and around marine and freshwater ecosystems across Canada (from docks and water crossings to aquaculture, mining, hydro, and oil and gas development projects). For information on meeting the requirements of the habitat protection provisions of the Fisheries Act, go to: Fish Habitat Management.
