The concept of corridors of connectivity is one that you also find on land, when we talk about protecting a wilderness for a species that has a large range.
We have approached MPA network development along the lines that Annette outlined in terms of establishing an MPA. We are partners with the provinces, the territories, and indigenous organizations. We have representatives from non-governmental organizations and from the industry that conducts human activities in that area. When we are talking about the development of the network, we can say that we have done that with those groups, those levels of government, and those organizations so that the connectivity of the areas is well understood.
It is not only because of its permanent nature that we need to have a very thorough understanding; it's also very educative, because, as we go through the process, we are learning more about the oceans. As Philippe said, we've made an investment over the past 20 years and we have a better understanding, but by no means does that mean we understand everything about what's taking place. The idea of identifying and establishing networks is fairly new, but how we would manage them, to answer your question, is really along the lines of establishing an advisory system that looks at the entire bioregion and allows for exploring the concepts of corridors of connectivity and buffer zones along the lines of what we were calling “network planning”.
