The largest commercial fishing harbour in Canada under the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Small Craft Harbour Authority Program. Steveston Harbour is located on the south arm of the Fraser River at the south end of Richmond, BC.
Hundreds of boats crowded the mouth of the Fraser River near Steveston for a three hour opportunity to load up on the prized Sockeye Salmon. Fisheries and Oceans Canada has estimated this year’s Fraser River sockeye run could see as many as 23 million salmon returning.
