Ms Caroline Bocquel:

At the heart of everything we do is sustainability. It has to be. If we do not produce seafood sustainably, there will be no seafood for future generations. On specific species, those are policy matters for the Minister and the Department. We implement whatever decisions they take in that respect. We work within the parameters set for us. We are focused on ensuring we responsibly harvest our seafood and that there is a balanced ecosystem. We rely heavily on the Marine Institute. We work with it quite a lot and the Department receives scientific advice from it.
