Three other witnesses want to comment on blue carbon, and then we will move on to discuss sustainable fisheries.

Jim Fairlie would like to ask for clarification about a matter.

There you are.

The biodiversity intactness is a worrying statistic. We are highly focused on reducing carbon dioxide now, and we hear about net zero all the time. Are we addressing the biodiversity crisis in the way that we should? Should we attack it first and allow the climate to look after itself or the other way round? Do we have the emphasis right in Scotland? Our ability to change the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is limited by the size of our country, whereas the biodiversity loss in Scotland is pretty dramatic. Are we focusing on the right area?
