Welcome to the Website of the Newfoundland Aquaculture Industry Association (NAIA). The Newfoundland Aquaculture Industry Association represents the interests of aquaculturists in Newfoundland.

It is a member based non-profit organization with a mandate to facilitate and promote commercial development of aquaculture.

The aquaculture industry in Newfoundland and Labrador is changing rapidly, and growing steadily. There is cause for excitement because of the opportunity this industry represents for our Province, especially as a means to support rural economic renewal.

We are honoured to have this opportunity on behalf of our members, and our Province. Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.

South Coast Aquaculture Industry Astounding: Premier Danny Williams VOCM News - July 24, 2009

Premier Danny Williams says what's taking place on the province's south coast when it comes to aquaculture is astounding. Williams says the growing aquaculture industry on the south coast is a real success story for all of rural Newfoundland and Labrador. He says four or five years ago communities like Harbour Breton and St. Alban's were hurting economically but now the economy is booming. Williams says the provincial government is dealing with issues in rural areas all over the province, and about 80 to 85 per cent of the millions and millions of dollars being invested in infrastructure are outside the St. John's region, which is good for the entire province.

Provincial Aquaculture Industry Growing Steadily in the Province:
Jan 27, 2009                                                                              The Newfoundland Aquaculture Industry Association (NAIA) is pleased to report that the provincial aquaculture industry is thriving and contributing to many rural communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

“The aquaculture industry throughout Newfoundland and Labrador is playing a significant role in our rural economy and through the commitment of our many dedicated employees both on the water and within our processing plants we are striving to reach our full potential while respecting the environment and our neighbours” said Miranda Pryor, Executive Director of the NAIA.
