Should the Kegaska Fishing Harbour Service Area Be Expanded?
Official title: Development of a service area - Kegaska Fishing Harbour - Basse-Côte-Nord
Fisheries and Oceans Canada wants to expand the service area at Kegaska fishing harbour on Quebec's Lower North Shore. The project would add designated parking and operational areas for fishermen and maritime transport. Right now, lack of parking disrupts operations at this busy commercial hub.
Why This Matters
Live in Kegaska or nearby communities? This harbour handles passenger and cargo transit for the region. Better parking and organized spaces could mean smoother operations for local fishermen and fewer conflicts between commercial and community uses.
What Could Change
If approved, designated parking and operational areas would be built for port users. Barriers would separate public and commercial spaces. A dedicated boat launch access point would be maintained for community use.
Key Issues
- Could this project cause significant negative environmental effects?
- How should public and commercial spaces be organized at the harbour?
