The Minister of State mentioned the importance of sharing information. I recently became interested in the concept of citizen science and the impact it can have on the environment. I have met the owner of an open litter map, which potentially could support the improvement of our biodiversity. I know there are other initiatives around dereliction, animal species and more topics. This seems an exciting area of research. Will the protocol's focus on sharing support or hinder citizen science in the field?
