Professor Mark Johnson:

I thank Deputy Ó Cuív for his questions. Perhaps I will make a brief comment on the first point he made about bringing in the harvesters already there. In the broader literature, to which I referred, people have looked at systems of natural resources and how one makes a success of managing them. The term used in the literature is the "social capital", about which I think the Deputy is talking. One starts with the social capital and then one looks at way to build that up. I think I would be in agreement with the Deputy. There might be other agreements about who is right and so on but the approach has been established. One would need to look at what one has. There other thing is supporting the leaders in that community who can get everyone to act in a way where everyone has a view.

I am quite happy to pass the questions on integrated multi-trophic aquaculture and on the non-native species to Dr. Maeve Edwards.
