The objective of Kespuwick Resources Incorporated is to establish a vertically integrated, multi-species, rights-based fishing enterprise that will provide a variety of employment opportunities for Band members while building a positive working relationship with non-native fishermen and companies.
Operating under the umbrella of Acadia First Nation, Kespuwick remains under community control, including the Chief and Councilors. The Kespuwick Advisory Committee has been assembled to provide strategic input, advice and make recommendations with regard to operation, future planning, policies, administration, communication, working with stakeholders, financing and funding. The day-to-day operations are completed by the Director of Operations and a number of onshore and offshore staff.
