We look after what we can control and, unfortunately, the increase in sea temperatures is something which is rapidly getting out of control. On the subject of riparian tree planting, there are disadvantages when one removes trees, especially, as I understand it, in an area where salmon or different fish, perhaps, are spawning, where it is important there is shade. What kind of results can we see if we introduce the right type of riparian tree planting to provide shade? For whatever reason, removing trees along river banks has been something of an obsession. Do we know if that will see a bounce back in success rate? Can I ask Dr. Gallagher to take this question, please?
