I think it's important to recognize that lobster landings in southwest New Brunswick have gone up. We're not trying to hide that. Research is beginning to show that factors around a loss of predation—primarily groundfish like cod that are no longer present—might be an indication of why lobster landings are going up.
There is a clear trend, where fishermen are seeing changes in lobster behaviour around salmon farms. Female lobsters carrying eggs stay away from farms after a few years of production. So we're seeing very real impacts, but we acknowledge that this is a changing ecosystem.
One of the concerning things is that we don't have a full handle on what's going on in the oceans. We know there are concerning changes occurring, and we feel very strongly that we should be removing pressures like open-net pens, given the state of our oceans.
