Our vision is of a strong member based organization which identifies the needs of harbour authorities and speaks on their behalf when a voice is needed at the provincial or national level.  We expect to build and maintain membership that will represent a majority of Newfoundland and Labrador Harbour Authorities and are committed to providing communication tools to gather comments and opinions that represent their collective views.
 
This vision requires our board and members to seek out partnership opportunities with departments, agencies and organizations dealing with local harbours.  In particular, HAANL is committed to a strong positive and long-term relationship with Small Craft Harbours Division (SCH) of DFO and will work with SCH to identify training and other needs.  HAANL will create partnerships with provincial and federal regulators and corporate bodies when it is in the best interest of all HAs to do so.  A majority of our partnerships will involve seeking and establishing tangible benefits for members, based on their needs.
