Thank you.
I appreciate your testimony.
It's my understanding that one of the primary purposes of IMTA is to mitigate the environmental impacts of traditional open net aquaculture by reducing nutrient deposition and carbon dioxide emissions. You addressed that.
It's also my understanding that this committee has heard from Ms. Milewski that the expected environmental benefits of IMTA have not always been borne out, and that at some IMTA sites sulphide levels in the sediment have actually increased after a traditional aquaculture site became an IMTA site.
Can you account for that?
