The increased landings and harvesters.... As I said earlier, we don't have a Nova Scotia fishery. We're on the northern edge of the movement of lobster, so our fishery is very small compared to some other areas. However, there was an increase in landings. Landings increased from 25% to 30% over a matter of six or seven years.
The other thing that you have to realize is that most of the time we're in a southerly drift. With the increased size in lobster, that is, egg-bearing lobster, they're carrying more and healthier eggs, but the drift of our eggs is to the south. A lot of the benefit from our closed area, when it comes to egg dispersal from the lobster, goes to people further south. What we've seen in the last number of years is that to the south of us there has been an increase in lobster catches as well. We can't actually prove it in science—we did some tests jointly with scientists trying to get where the drift would go—but we believe that it's partly because of our closed areas that they're getting better production, better catch rates, now to the south of us because of increased egg production in our MPAs in our area.
