Marine environment management - evidence session 2: marine energy developers
Excellent. Okay, thank you very much for that. We move on, then—we've got about eight or nine minutes left, so we move on to Delyth.

Okay, shall we go to David first, then, just to make the points he wanted to make and then we'll allow Jess just to conclude on this section?

Marine environment management - evidence session 2: marine energy developers
Okay. I think we can hear a message in all of that—that's pretty clear; thanks so much. Your reference to Erebus brings us nicely, I think, on to Jenny Rathbone.
