Dr. Maeve Edwards:

There have been small-scale studies but they are usually over a period of one year. The Hession report is one example, but that being from 1998 or so is now out of date. The pressure has never been as great as it is now. People are really interested in using the resource and, since the downturn in the economy, there have been many more people on the shore. It is worth investigating again so that we continue to maintain and improve it.
