We've heard from several stakeholders that MPAs seem to be most successful when they're driven from the ground up. When we talk about places like Baffin Bay; Eastport, Newfoundland; and Darnley Bay, they were actually MPAs that were initiated within the community. Is there more of a movement to have those kinds of grassroots organizations involved from the start, as opposed to a top-down approach, whereby Fisheries and Oceans or Environment determines where it's going to be and says, “This is what we're going to do”, as opposed to asking, “Where should it be?”
