Competing Interests
One of the authors (Dr. A Woolmer), who has been highlighted as a commercial company (Salacia-Marine), works as an independent consultant on fisheries and conservation management. He is a voluntary member of the advisory board (i.e. Steering Committee), but this non-financial competing interest does not compromise the authors’ study in any way. This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. The authors do not have any other declarations of interest related to this manuscript (employment, consultancy, patents, products and development or marketed products).
