Industry leaders say IoM needs to put pressure on DEFRA in the UK
A call for evidence in the UK is a 'once in a generation chance' for the Island's fishing industry.
David Beard of Manx Fish Producers made the comments when discussing the future of the sector in relation to Brexit.
The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in the UK is currently seeking evidence for government to create a national food strategy.
Mr Beard says the Island's fishing community, alongside government, needs to capitalise on this moment:
'Come back to the table,' says DOI minister
Consultation seeks feedback on changes to IOM first time buyer schemes
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
'Privilege to represent Island at British-Irish Council', says chief minister
