Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I very much welcome this report and the debate we've had today. As several Members pointed out, it does follow on very nicely from the debate we had yesterday on the draft national marine plan. But I think it also emphasises how important our seas are to us.

The Welsh Government's written response to the report and my further letter reflect the very positive spirit in which it was received and our commitment to continue refocusing marine and fisheries policy and strengthening where appropriate. The issues that have been raised here today and the conversations I have with people across Wales demonstrate the importance we all place on having a healthy and resilient marine environment. I think Mike Hedges made a very important point about the goodwill of people, not just in the Chamber, but also within our non-governmental organisations, and, certainly, they are some of the most passionate people I've ever come across—they really believe in what they are doing in relation to our seas. They also reflect how important it is for us to develop policies that are integrated and cross-cutting.

The management of marine protected areas cannot be viewed in isolation. It needs to be part of an integrated approach to the management of the wider marine environment to ensure that we achieve our ambitions and vision for clean, healthy, safe, productive, biologically diverse and resilient seas around Wales that support vibrant coastal communities. Yesterday, we had the debate on the first draft Welsh national marine plan, and that's now the subject of a formal consultation. The plan sets out for the first time a joined-up approach to the planning and management of our seas for the next 20 years, and it works towards our ambition for a resilient marine environment that supports blue growth and sustainable, productive and prosperous fisheries. Key to achieving resilient marine ecosystems is Wales completing its contribution towards a network of marine protected areas and for us continuing to build on our current programme of work to manage our MPAs so that they remain in or, where necessary, are able to achieve, favourable condition.
