Marine environment management - evidence session 3: marine planning and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
Yes, okay. No, that's a clear message. Emily wants to come back in and I'll give Claire Stephenson a chance as well, if you wish to add anything, and then we'll go back to Huw. So, Emily.

Sorry, before the others come in, we did hear from Natural Resources Wales, of course; they were reminding us that it isn't that there's no provision for beyond the 12 nautical miles. There are systems and things in place if there are issues or developments…

Marine environment management - evidence session 2: marine energy developers
There we are. I'm sure you would. Yes. Okay, can I, therefore, thank you so much, David and Jess, for the evidence you've given us? It reminds us of how much work there is potentially that needs to be done, and, certainly, our initial work today on the wider…

Marine environment management - evidence session 2: marine energy developers
Yes—relevant and beneficial, I suppose, isn't it? David, do you want to take this?
