Thank you for that, Minister. Moving on to another aspect of the bill, what is being done to ensure that the fishing communities that are likely to be affected by this bill are educated about the changing circumstances? I am interested in how this will work, because it appears from reading the bill that the focus is on enforcement when surely having an effective education campaign could help avoid some of the problems that usually arise.
