Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) maintains a strong and widespread presence across the country, with over 100 Conservation and Protection detachments located in every province and territory. This extensive network ensures that fishery officers are well-positioned to protect Canada’s aquatic ecosystems from coast to coast to coast. It also means there are opportunities for diverse postings and career growth across Canada.

Whether stationed in a bustling port city or a remote northern community, fishery officers are part of a national effort to enforce fisheries laws and regulations, and safeguard marine biodiversity.
