From my perspective, the first thing you need to do is map the fishing activity in that area. These records can be obtained, especially in the later years, and historically, there are logbooks and other records. This information can be obtained by working with fishers and with DFO. We need the MPAs mapped out because we don't know what we're doing. How much can the industry afford to lose? Can areas be moved so as to accommodate the industry? We can't afford to lose too much fishing area, but we can give up some.
