Steveston harbour authority
The Steveston Harbour Authority (SHA) was established in 1990 as a non-profit organization which leases Steveston Harbour and its facilities from the department of Fisheries and Oceans Small Craft Harbours Branch (DFO - SCHB) with the mandate to operate and maintain the facility as a commercial fishing harbour.

The future of commercial fishing
Since its inception in 1990, SHA has been working together with DFO - SCHB to systematically improve the quality of service offered to the commercial fishing fleet.
