That's a good question.
As I often explain, there is a tendency to say that fishers are too involved and that our science is not as good as that of the researchers or of the department itself. However, I wanted to demonstrate earlier [Technical difficulty—Editor] that this is very useful to the department. We invest money, and sometimes we do it without help.
Most lobster fishers are multi‑species fishers who have experienced the cod moratorium and don't want to go through that again. So sustainability is essential.
It is important that the department take into account the assistance that fishers can provide, that it can also help them, even financially. Also, there may be a lack of resources in the department today. There were attritions a few years ago, and now it's difficult for the department to keep up. The department itself will need help to ensure that its advice and research are always up to date.
