No, it's actually very good. Our fishermen actually keep track. They have logs that they fill out for the association to track what's going on with the v-notch lobster and the berried, etc. I do a report every year on that.
It's impressive. You should see my charts, going like this for berried lobsters. It's just going like this. It's just unbelievable. We never thought we'd see it in our lifetime. I wish my father were alive to actually see it, because what we're seeing now is huge.
They're doing a study down in Canso now, and they're finding that the smaller lobsters are becoming mature earlier, at a smaller size. So I'm actually going to do a little project myself this year and get my husband to measure these small ones. I was talking to the scientists yesterday. If it's 71 millimetres—we're allowed 82 millimetres or something now—then it actually got its eggs one time more than what they've been giving us credit for. That's something new.
I must say that in our area we're doing very well, better than we ever thought we would, definitely in our lifetime or in my dad's lifetime. We have only 222 fishermen in those two areas, and it's a big area. It's not as big as their area, of course.
We feel we're managing our area in a responsible way, in a sustainable way, which we need to prove when we go to the MSC. I would advise you to focus your efforts towards 34.
