Mr. Conor McCabe:

If I may come back in, I will refer back to a point I made about gaps that are surfacing and holes which the national maritime planning framework has found in policy. This is one such area but I would broaden it out to include sport, recreation and tourism in the maritime area. This is often considered something that just happens as part of local area planning but we would like to see that gap filled in the future by dedicated strategies and plans with regard to the topics the Chairman has brought up, such as the enhancement of sea swimming as a year-round event and maritime tourism, which is worth three times as much per individual as domestic tourism. Those gaps have been brought to the surface and the NMPF can only be good in that respect in that those who are responsible for those policy areas will now be looking to address those kinds of things in future. Once they are addressed, we will bring them into the fold as part of the statutory framework for decision makers.
