It's not only from an operational standpoint, the fewer traps in the water, depending on the fishery, the greater the net decrease in fuel consumption and reduction in carbon. It also makes the existing fishers more viable. I think that's the real problem we have on Prince Edward Island right now. We are extremely dependent on lobster. We have a few secondary species, but it's a challenge. A couple of these fisheries are only a couple of days.
