INFRASTRUCTURE

Fogo has an excellent and well-protected harbour which can be accessed from three different entrances. The main harbour is able to accommodate larger vessels and, in season, is taken advantage of by numerous fishing vessels of up to 65 feet. The largest ocean-going vessels however usually utilize the wharf at what is known as Seal Cove, which has the deepest wharfage.  For pleasure boaters, Fogo also has a small craft boat launch.

This picture is from a painting of a portion of Fogo Harbour that was done by local resident Gerald Freake.  Prints of the painting are available for sale locally at Peg's Bed and Breakfast. 

The Seal Cove wharf, formerly the Government wharf, is within the town limits and may be accessed by local roads.  





Within Fogo Harbour is the Fogo Island Co-operative's Fish Processing Plant.  This ultramodern plant processes crab and sea cucumber.  This is a seasonal operation from late April to early October and employs approximately 200 to 250 people in peak season.
