Within our planning and reporting framework for managing our parks and national marine conservation areas, we're looking at a ten-year strategic planning cycle with a five-year overall reporting cycle. We are moving to an annual engagement model whereby each year we'll be meeting with stakeholders—and we already do that—and we'll be continuing to meet on an annual basis with stakeholders in each and every park and site to ensure that there is accountability and to ensure that we're working on implementing the elements that are within the plan, rather than relaunching a whole new planning process every five years. So this will allow us to focus our resources on implementing the plans that are in place.
