I think the DMP is an essential link with the other tools in place in the fishery. For example, lobster harvesters are required to complete logbooks, and purchasers—whether they're buyers or processors—are required to complete purchase slips and report landings to provincial and/or federal officials. The opportunity to tie that all together comes with the dockside monitoring program, which ensures, through a third party verification system, that all landings are reported and cash sales aren't occurring without the proper documentation. It would allow all of the catch that's currently coming out of the water and not getting recorded or noted for scientific research purposes....
Like I said, I think third party DMP verification is the piece of [Technical difficulty—Editor] on a lot of the current concerns, including looking at lobsters that are coming out via sources and being shipped from province to province or out of the country without the proper documentation and receipts.
