There are a few aspects to that there. I don't know who wants to take it, but whoever it is will need to be rather concise. Mary.

Marine environment management - evidence session 1: Natural Resources Wales
Thank you, Mary. We're up against time now, but I think that's a key message that we come back to on a number of these issues, and it's certainly one that we as a committee will take seriously into consideration. So, the final question to Janet before we…

Okay, well, let's bring Joyce in here, because I think she wants to raise something as well.

It would. I think I'll give you five out of 10 for that. That's not bad. But, as the species champion, I'll probably have to come back to you to make the case again. But thank you for that answer—that's really good of you. Okay, we'll move on. Janet.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Marine environment management - evidence session 1: Natural Resources Wales
Okay. Thank you for that. Before we move on from evidence, I'm going to slip another one in, if I may. You may be aware that I'm the species champion for the sand eel, and we're very aware that there are severe gaps in information and data for that particular…
