English: Thank you. I have to say that I was disappointed during climate change committee last week when the Deputy Minister refuted the fact that, during his deep dive on nature conservation, he basically ignored the fact when I said that I was concerned about whether there'd been any engagement with any of the non-governmental organisations in terms of nature conservation. If you look at the actual deep dive report, there's no reference to any of them, so that's that something I would like you to take further. But I've highlighted during climate change committee that there still exists a discrepancy between the section 158 definition and the Environment (Wales) Act 2016, which of course provides responsibility for Natural Resources Wales to promote sustainable management of natural resources up to 12 nautical miles, and your Welsh Government's broader legal responsibility for nature conservation throughout the Welsh 200 nautical mile zone. In a recent written question reply, you kindly stated that the Welsh Government will look for an opportunity to amend the legislation in subsequent years, and in a letter to the First Minister, Wales Environment Link urged this administration to make the restoration of marine wildlife a higher priority, including protections for - I can never say it - cetaceans that recognise their ecosystem-regulating functions. Minister, can you clarify what engagement you have undertaken to secure a firm timeline to amend this discrepancy, so that this Siambr Cymru and Senedd Cymru may be in a better position to scrutinise and monitor the actions of NRW with regard to deep-water nature conservation? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Rhaid imi ddweud fy mod wedi fy siomi yn ystod y pwyllgor newid hinsawdd yr wythnos diwethaf pan wrthododd y Dirprwy Weinidog y ffaith ei fod, yn ystod ei adroddiad at wraidd y mater ar gadwraeth natur, fwy neu lai wedi anwybyddu'r ffaith pan ddywedais fy mod yn pryderu ynglŷn ag a fu unrhyw gysylltiad ag unrhyw un o'r sefydliadau anllywodraethol ynghylch chadwraeth natur. Os edrychwch ar yr adroddiad at wraidd y mater, nid oes cyfeiriad at yr un ohonynt, felly dyna rywbeth yr hoffwn i chi edrych ymhellach arno. Ond rwyf wedi tynnu sylw yn ystod y pwyllgor newid hinsawdd at y ffaith bod anghysondeb o hyd rhwng diffiniad adran 158 a Deddf yr Amgylchedd (Cymru) 2016, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn rhoi cyfrifoldeb i Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru hyrwyddo rheolaeth gynaliadwy ar adnoddau naturiol hyd at 12 milltir forol, a chyfrifoldeb cyfreithiol ehangach Llywodraeth Cymru dros gadwraeth natur ledled parth 200 milltir forol Cymru. Mewn ateb i gwestiwn ysgrifenedig yn ddiweddar, fe ddywedoch chi y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn chwilio am gyfle i ddiwygio'r ddeddfwriaeth yn y blynyddoedd dilynol, ac mewn llythyr at y Prif Weinidog, anogodd Cyswllt Amgylchedd Cymru y weinyddiaeth hon i wneud adfer bywyd gwyllt morol yn flaenoriaeth uwch, gan gynnwys mesurau i ddiogelu teulu'r morfil i gydnabod eu rôl yn rheoleiddio ecosystemau. Weinidog, a allwch egluro pa ymgysylltiad a gawsoch i sicrhau amserlen gadarn i ddiwygio'r anghysondeb hwn, fel y gallai'r Siambr hon a Senedd Cymru fod mewn gwell sefyllfa i graffu ar weithredoedd CNC a'u monitro mewn perthynas â chadwraeth natur y dyfnfor? Diolch.
