It is important that the Marine Institute gets support because this issue is not going to go away. We have this unregulated fishery and the chances are that this issue is going to keep arising, again and again. I do not know if the Department has already directed the Marine Institute or ensured that it has all the resources it requires. Some work is happening already but if the institute needs anything else, there should be close agreement with the Department.
