Classified among the most sustainably managed in the British Isles
The Manx Scallop Fishery has been classified among the most sustainably managed in the British Isles.
The upgraded rating follows improvements to the fishery and its management, over the last two years, as part of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture's long-term management plan.
According to the Marine Conservation Society the Isle of Man's approach demonstrates some very good practices which are clearly extensively researched, monitored and reported on.
Minister Clare Barber has welcomed the endorsement:
Charity defibrillator used on German cruise passenger
Exhibit captures 'moment in time' of Manx wildlife
Reservoirs well stocked ahead of summer
Michael Commissioners wants planning permission for new play area equipment
Motiv8 gets £50,000 grant for new family support programme
