Professor Tasman Crowe:

I am not sure about the whole of the maritime area in that regard. I am plucking some numbers out of the air a little bit. I believe there is talk about the process being completed within a year of the Bill being enacted. It is not unreasonable that the science side of it, presenting a case for particular areas being strongly protected, could be done in that kind of timeframe. The important other side of it is the stakeholder engagement side. Decisions will have to be made on exactly what can and cannot be done without major impacts on people's livelihoods. There needs to be some process of discussion that is additional to the science.
