I think one of the most important things is to actually monitor shipping on the northern coast. One of the biggest risk areas is really from other kinds of ships that don't have to follow the voluntary exclusion zone that tankers do. We have demonstrated over the past six months that tankers are following the voluntary exclusion almost to the letter of the law, but in fact, the other ships actually have a higher risk level. Therefore, we are advocating, as a world-leading observatory, that we should begin to monitor shipping in a much closer way and to provide alerts to prevent accidents. We've talked about response, but the best thing we can do is prevent accidents. We're advocating that robust monitoring be in place to prevent all accidents, particularly in ships that do travel very close to the coast, have high windage, and if they lose power, can readily go aground on the coastline.
