I think the process actually started before the MPA discussion started. As mentioned, in the early nineties, fishers noticed a change in the abundance of lobster due to the pressure put on it. Before there was actual discussion about an MPA, there was a management plan put in place, a joint agreement with fishers. That's when there were closures put in under the Fisheries Act. Some of the things described by Mr. Feltham with regard to access to the area were also put in at that point. That was established, I believe, in 1997. Then as the discussion on MPAs started, it was decided that that management process was a good candidate now to be taken over as an MPA.
The discussion actually started in the early to mid-nineties, and later in the nineties, the joint management plan was put in place. That then morphed into the actual MPA in 2005.
