Thank you.
Thanks for speeding over here so quickly. That's my fault. I appreciate it.
I just had a briefing this morning. I'm one of the vice-chairs of the international conservation committee, and we had Living Oceans and a doctor from California present to us. One of the things they presented to us was a map showing the areas of high acidification and the increasing acidification of the oceans over time. To my alarm, right now they're showing one of the highest areas of acidification is along the Alaska coast and down. I can't remember the time it took, but over time it has come right down the B.C. coast.
I've tried to flip quickly through your interim management plan. Is the plan intending to also address this looming issue of acidification and the impact on the marine ecosystem?
