I can answer the second part of the question, but I'll have to ask somebody else to answer the first part of the question because I have not been involved with the certification process.
I can tell you that there is increased activity on the part of the province in doing some ocean research in the area. They have been looking at the distribution of cod and migration patterns, and so on, through the Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research at the Marine Institute. I am collaborating with a number of people from that location on several different projects and they are doing a great deal more as well.
