Well, I think to make a statement that the environmental effect is “destructive” is somewhat alarmist. I think every type of agriculture, whether it's done on land or in the water, makes some change to the environment in order to carry on. I think all forms of agriculture are committed to reducing and mitigating against the negative impacts of their operations, and I think that's true for the salmon farming industry worldwide. The pattern of change over the 25 years of commercial salmon farming around the world has been to monitor, identify, and mitigate against the environmental concerns.
