DEFA chief wants to make industry sustainable long-term
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is seeking public opinion on how to make the king scallop fishery sustainable long-term.
Concerns have been raised following signs its stock is on the decline.
Four-and-a-half thousand tonnes were landed in the Island last year - worth an estimated £4 million to the Manx economy.
DEFA Minister Richard Ronan is keen to take action before the situation worsens:
Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Gusts up to 75mph expected on Saturday
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
Smile Dental Care 'not currently providing services'
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
Talks taking place over mitigation measures as sailing schedule disrupted
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Manxman's crossings held up overnight and throughout Good Friday
