Basically, what small craft harbours does is it allows fishers, inshore fishers in particular, a close access to their fishing grounds, and this allows them to not have to spend a lot of money to steam for miles and miles to get to the fishing grounds. So it allows them to stay within a small area to keep their costs low, and it's very important to so many communities.
Your community, I know, is made up mostly of fishers and that is the industry of that community, and that harbour is the centre of the community, and people take great pride in the harbours.
I must also mention port authorities. Most harbours now in Canada are managed by port authorities, which are a body of volunteers who do excellent work. The small craft harbour volunteer program is just over 20 years old now, and I believe we have in excess of 5,000 volunteers who volunteer their time to ensure the harbours are safe.
