I would say that they reflect the general interest in conservation objectives that we hear about at the regional and local levels, as Philippe said. Certainly opportunities have been identified by groups such that this can contribute to the reconciliation agenda of the government in the sense that there may be opportunities for monitoring of MPAs, especially if they're located in areas that are next to indigenous communities, for example. But there's also a lot of indigenous and traditional knowledge that we collect as part of our MPA network design process, and they make a very valuable contribution to that. Certainly that's part of the programming we have at DFO under the AAROM, aboriginal aquatic resource and oceans management, program, for example.
