Canada Fisheries & Oceans

Ferryland, NL

Fisheries and Oceans Canada oversees the lightstations of Newfoundland and Labrador, which have been integral to maritime navigation since the early 1800s. These historic beacons, now equipped with modern solar technology, serve as vital navigational aids and are a testament to the region's rich maritime heritage.

With 55 major lightstations, including 23 staffed facilities, the organization collaborates with the Lighthouse Society of Newfoundland and Labrador to preserve these landmarks. The lightkeepers, who once faced harsh conditions in isolation, now commute from neighboring communities, ensuring the safety of mariners while maintaining the legacy of these iconic structures.
