Marine environment management - evidence session 3: marine planning and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
Okay, there we are. Thank you. That's a really useful passage of questions and answers there, and it really goes to the crux, I think, of one of the biggest challenges that we're facing in this context. We've got about six minutes left, and I'm conscious that…

Okay, thank you. I'm going to let Emily come in now because she has been very patient, and then we do have to move on, I'm afraid.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Marine environment management - evidence session 3: marine planning and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
No, no. It's all very good stuff. It's really valuable stuff for us as a committee. I know that Emily wants to come in. I'll just let Delyth in first of all, and maybe you can respond to Delyth's point and the wider point that we are discussing. Delyth.

, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
