One of the benefits of the investment in the oceans program over the last 20 years has been that we do have a much better idea, in terms of our scientific research, regarding which areas of the ocean are ecologically and biologically significant. We use that data we've collected and continue to collect, and we refine it in order to really identify the question of quality, which one of the other members asked about earlier. We're picking sites that can make the best contributions to biodiversity. A lot of that work has been done already, whereas perhaps in earlier days it was one of the reasons the process was quite lengthy. There is that element to it. We do have a good idea through the network planning process of where the candidate sites should be.
