Thank you very much, Llyr Huws Gruffydd, for those series of questions and comments. I hope you agree I've been very unequivocal in relation to the fossil fuel extraction. I thought it was really important to set that out in the statement and also in the national marine plan.

For the first time, we've got a statutory strategic policy framework in place to help guide marine decision making, and I think it's really important that we have that there to support all those who wish to use our marine environment, for whatever reason, to ensure that we have the resilience of our marine ecosystems and that we are able to protect the very rich and varied maritime heritage, as I'm sure you will agree. I think the main thrust in relation to development, and to renewable energy development in particular, is that the right developments are encouraged in the first place, and that they come forward in the first place, and that unnecessary conflict is avoided, which I don't think has happened previously. I think there have also been delays when there are applications for consent in the first place. So, I think it's really important that the plan assists in that way.

I think you can see that sustainable development is absolutely at the core of this plan. So, it includes policies to confirm the need to protect our environment, as well as setting out the strategic framework that I think will be needed as we bring forward more renewable energy.

One point I would want to make is that this plan doesn't reduce existing environmental checks and balances. I think it actually goes further, and it does provide that policy encouragement for actions to protect and restore and enhance our marine ecosystems.

You mentioned the national development framework, and, obviously, this plan and the NDF will work alongside each other. I thought it was very important to bring forward this marine plan in its own right. You'll be aware from when I've been in front of committee that it is later than I planned it to be, but that little thing called Brexit I think got in the way. I'm not making an excuse, but you will appreciate this was a significant piece of work that I was absolutely determined we would get right, and I think it's a really important day. The launch of this plan is something that I think is very important for Wales.

In relation to marine protected areas, the plan does contain policies confirming protection for the MPA network of sites. An extensive habitats regulation assessment has been undertaken so that we could understand and manage any potential effects of policies in relation to that within this plan. It's vital that we keep stakeholders involved, and I mentioned two groups, I think, in my original statement who will assist us in relation to the implementation of the plan, because, as you say, it's really important that it's not put on a shelf gathering dust. Certainly, the focus of this will now move to implementation, and guidance is just being finalised and will be going out to interested parties.

I had a meeting last week or the week before with the Crown Estate, and, certainly, my officials are working very closely with them to see what more we can do to support the development of offshore wind industry in appropriate locations. I personally haven't had a conversation about the devolution of further powers, but what I think is really important is that we do work closely with the Crown Estate. All the officials I met with the Crown Estate, interestingly, had all worked on Gwynt y Môr, probably 10 or 15 years ago, and they certainly recognised the opportunities that we do have in Wales in relation to offshore wind.
