I haven't noted yet, but I should note that until a couple of years ago the vast majority of North Atlantic right whales present within the Canadian zone were in the Bay of Fundy. In that area, the department has worked with the Grand Manan Fishermen's Association for a number of years on a mitigation protocol to avoid entanglements with North Atlantic right whales, and this has successfully produced many fishing seasons when whales and fishing gear were both in the water but entanglements weren't occurring.
It's important to note that while I referenced that we've only been at this for the past couple of years, I was referring to work in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The work in the Bay of Fundy has been ongoing for a number of years.
The measures that have been put in place in the Gulf of St. Lawrence were put in place once North Atlantic right whales became an issue in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Prior to that you would occasionally see one or two or what have you, but the concentration of North Atlantic right whales has only been in the Gulf of St. Lawrence for a short period of time, and that's the impetus for why the measures have now been put in place.
