Fermeuse is the hometown of former NHL player Ryane Clowe who played with the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers and San Jose Sharks.

Fermeuse is located on the eastern portion of the Avalon Peninsula approximately 80 kilometers south of St. John’s via paved two-lane highway.

Like other communities in the area, Fermeuse was used as a summer fishing station in the 1500s by the Portuguese and is referred to on early Portuguese maps as R. Fermoso and Rio Fremoze. (http://www.explorenewfoundlandandlabrador.com/communities/fermeuse.htm)

The fishery continues to be the economic engine for the town, but in recent history, projects such as a Marine Center and a wind power project have created new opportunities for residents (http://www.irishloop.nf.ca/home/fermeuse.htm).

The harbour has excellent proximity to the offshore oil and gas operations off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Fermeuse Harbour is long (approximately 5 kilometers) and well protected. It provides a naturally sheltered port with hilly terrain to the north and south.

Fermeuse Harbour possesses the key characteristics, including:

• Safe harbour in most all weather conditions
• Ice free
• Sufficient deep water, berthing spaces and supportive laydown areas.
