Exactly, and look at possibilities where we can have quick win solutions. There is a problem with the stocks and the life cycle. It is a long-term life cycle. We are also hearing reports of different examples, such as what is happening in Lough Neagh. We are examining other practices surrounding the fishing of eels. The eel fisherpeople would have been the custodians of the stock. I would like to see the custodians more involved in the consultation. There is an upcoming consultation, and I would not like it to be seen as a token gesture. A number of delegations have come forward with a number of good ideas. I would like to follow through on those.
