Cape St. Marys, Nova Scotia

Cape St. Marys in Nova Scotia

Cape St. Marys (French: Cap-Sainte-Marie) is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia,[1] located in the District of Clare in Digby County.[2] The harbor is home to a number of fisheries that, as of 2015, were worth more than $5,000,000 annually. The harbour serves as homeport to a fleet of 42 fish harvesters and 14 fishing vessels. As many as nine transient ships spend time operating from the harbour, as well.[3]

In 2014 a hydrographic survey was conducted by the Fisheries and Oceans Canada and found that the harbor was in need of major dredging to protect the local fleet.[3] Cape St. Marys is scheduled for a major capital construction project that will improve the harbor by adding a new breakwater and groyne extension.[3]
