OUR VISION

“To grow First Nations-controlled marine and seafood industry related businesses”
To support this vision, the Aboriginal Sea Company (ASC) will focus on two key areas:
1. Maritime Investments
2. Social Opportunities
ASC Mud Crab

Many Aboriginal people don’t have the capital to get started in businesses in the seafood industry, but they do have fresh seafood resources at their front door. We need to find the right people and build their capabilities to operate self-sustaining businesses to support local autonomy.

We know this is a long-term commitment, but if we don’t invest in this work now, it will always be someone else working on our Country instead of ourselves.
