The other concern, of course, is the issue of other uses of the ocean. There's a lot of talk about Georges Bank and the lifting of the moratorium. For oil and gas, there's increased pressure in that regard, as well as seismic testing. There are a lot of other demands on the environment, and not just for fishermen and their lobsters.
When it comes to making these decisions, I know that a lot of lobster fishermen are saying that their input really isn't being taken into account and that oil and gas or other sectors of the economy will take precedence over their concerns in what has already been reported as a billion-dollar industry. How much of their input actually gets through to the department in order to protect and enhance the environment for the lobsters to thrive in? It seems that there's an awful lot of pressure on the environment in this particular regard.
