I would make the point that it is very necessary and significant funding has already been spent. It could be of great value and I would advocate that it is pushed on.

The final point related to fishery harbours, on which spending is very low. There are large local authority piers and harbours, the national centres, which get significant funding. However, coastal county councils have local harbours and piers which need upkeep and I ask Dr. Beamish to address the issue in regard to their funding.
