Conservation zones in force from November
A number of measures are being introduced to combat over-fishing off the Island's coast.
Five new three-mile 'conservation zones' - where the commercial fishing of king scallops will be prohibited - are being implemented from 1 November.
It's part of a move by the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture to protect the marine population against aggressive trawl and dredge fishing - while still allowing for leisure activities such as small-scale crab and lobster potting.
Director of Fisheries Karen McArg says it won't discriminate against fishing vessels based on their nationality:
Government 'expects fuel pricing to stabilise by middle of week'
Tanker carrying 4.5 million litres of fuel waiting to dock
Queues at pumps as diesel prices increase across Island
We aren't the fun police!
