We hear from harvesters and other stakeholders that there can be a difference between what we're seeing from our science and the peer-reviewed studies and what they're seeing on the water.
In terms of that time gap and how it can be reduced, I think that points to the importance of our advisory committee process. More than that, it speaks to the importance of having an ongoing relationship and collaboration between the department and harvesters. Certainly we're engaging harvesters throughout the year—not just annually, but throughout—to see if we are missing something and if further science work is required.
