I noticed a figure in IFI's opening statement when I was reading it before the meeting. It states that there has been a dramatic fall in the number of wild salmon returning to Ireland from 1.76 million in 1975 to 171,700 in 2022, a drop of nearly 90%. That is obviously concerning. I am not an expert in this. Dr. Gallagher is a scientist and I am not. However, I take it that the cause of this issue lies beyond Irish territorial waters. Is that correct?
