Yes, thank you.
With respect to open-net sea pens, as I indicated in my presentation, there have been a number of documented instances and cases of consequences particularly to local environments as a result of things such as the release of antifoulants, pesticides, vaccines, and other debris and waste that have collected on the bottom.
On the potential for disease to be produced and potentially to be transferred to wild organisms, and on escape events as well, these are the types of things that the panel felt would be mitigated by closed containment aquaculture facilities, particularly those based on land insofar as escapes could be readily preventable. There is technology in place such that, with appropriate water filtration systems, vaccines and pesticides are not required to treat the salmon. Disease does not appear to be an issue. There also appears to be the technology to reuse 98% to 99% of the water with appropriate filtration systems, and also to take the waste and use it for hydroponics, greenhouses, and so on. There appears to be technology in place to mitigate many of the documented environmental consequences of open-net sea pens.
