Yes, on the issue of whether size matters, I think it goes back to what the conservation objective is. As we're discussing here today, we're looking at the Eastport MPA, and the objective there was pretty clear. It was to establish and maintain a viable lobster fishery in the Eastport area. That's why the MPA was established and that's how it's been monitored to meet that goal. If the conservation objective were different, depending on what it was, that would determine how big your MPA might be. If your objective is very wide-ranging, protecting different types of bottom coral sponges, that type of thing, then size might come into it to meet those objectives. If your objective is a very focused and small one, you could look at what happens in Eastport for a good example of that. I wouldn't say one is any less valuable than the other. Certainly, if you look at the size of Eastport, it's not very big, but it's very important to the local community and everyone around it.
