I am conscious of the time limitations today, so we will move on to questions on regulation and salmon farming.

I regret to say that we have to bring this evidence session to a close. There is much more to cover, and there are a lot more questions that we would like to ask, but I thank you very much for your involvement in the panel today. It has certainly set the scene for the work that we will have to do in the future.

We will now take a five-minute break. For our second panel, we will go straight to questioning rather than have opening statements.

That certainly hits on a point. The headlines do not always give the full picture.

How do Katie Gillham or Cathy Tilbrook of NatureScot see inshore fisheries groups and non-governmental organisations working together to ensure that we get the right picture of what is happening in our seas?

If nobody else wishes to continue on that topic, we will move on to Beatrice Wishart’s questions.

Thank you. We will move on to the environmental impact of aquaculture and further regulation.

Would Katie Gillham like to address that in the first instance?

I ask Cathy Tilbrook to address that, followed by Calum Duncan.

Let us move on to questions on labour.

That is probably one for you again, Jimmy.

That is grand. Ariane Burgess has questions on the climate and ecological crisis.
