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.

Welcome to the world famous Fisherman’s Wharf.  The wharf is located at our Gulf of Georgia Site South of Bayview Street in the heart of Steveston Village. Come experience where our local fishermen sell their catch to the public.
