One would think that specific science would be done, in any area where you're looking at doing this, that shows there's a decline of something that needs to be protected.
Area 2 here is the eastern shore. That has a lobster fishing area, LFA 32, with only a two-month season of April to June. Your documents publicly say that eelgrass beds and kelp seaweed, which are also not endangered, need to be protected, and that there's salmon habitat there. There's no salmon habitat there. Most of the eastern shore rivers have been killed by acid rain. Very little salmon goes up any rivers there. There's a few that will go up St. Mary's River, but there's very few and they breed in the river.
Would you provide the science on what is being protected, what's in decline and whether or not it was mankind doing that for this area?
