Thank you for that question, Mr. Small.
This work is incredibly expensive, and just to speak a little bit on your last question, it can be dangerous. I don't think that leaving this work in the hands of volunteers is the right way to go long term.
In terms of raising funds or pooling funds, we can look to waste management models, such as extended producer responsibility. I know people aren't in favour of taxes or putting a tax on something, but creating a deposit scheme or method at the point of purchase of the vessel could help pool funds together for that.
When shipping containers come into the port, we've also discussed looking at creating a small tax on each container, so that money can then be pooled for restoration funds across the coast. That could create a substantial fund to help not only with the funding and removal of derelict vessels, but also with many other restoration needs across the coast. Those are some of the mechanisms we've explored to date.
