I have no issue with that. The area of sea fishery protection relates more to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine than the Department of Defence because it is responsible for the policy in terms of quotas and working with the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority. We work with it as a partner and first responder in terms of enforcement and assistance with boarding ships.
