In her research, would Dr. Edwards have experience of looking at that in areas such as Nova Scotia which would have a similar climate and a similar type of seaweed cutting but which is more industrialised? I think the issues to which she has referred about inexperience around the way the seaweed is being cut is affecting the resource going forward and the management of the resource. Perhaps Dr. Edwards can tell the committee how that is measured and monitored and if there are examples of good practice in other areas?
