Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to start with Mr. Christensen, if I could.

Mr. Christensen, you talked about the shrimp trawlers with the bycatch situation. Are there other impediments to small-scale harvesters that are easier for the bigger operators to get around? We've heard something around observers on board. Could you provide anything on that?
