As I said in my opening remarks, it is already covered in the Bill. That interaction is already covered in Section 19(2)(e) which refers to "providing for land-sea interactions and securing coordination with the National Marine Planning Framework". The maritime spatial plans would sit under that and they are governed by the Maritime Area Planning Act. They are legally bound to do so already, so this provision is unnecessary. I will not be accepting the amendment but I am happy to listen to the other Deputies if they want to elaborate further.
