Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the guests for being here.
Throughout the conversations we've seen so far on marine protected areas, the words that keep coming are “integration of area ecosystems” and “network”.
I would really like somebody to put the term “network” into a little bit more context. Obviously, the marine protected areas that we have or that have been designated are quite distant from each other. Could somebody just give me some background on the term “network” and what it really means in this context?
