Head of Fish Producers' Organisation welcomes financial support
More money from government to the fishing industry will 'just help [the sector] survive' according to the Manx Fish Producers' Organisation.
CEO of the body Dave Beard has welcomed the £250,000 to help keep businesses afloat.
It's as the industry has taken a hit over the coronavirus pandemic, with more than 90 per cent of exports sold in France, Spain and Italy.
Mr Beard says the extra support is therefore sorely needed:
Steam Packet Company working to 'restore Manannan to full operational speed'
Manannan is operating on three engines, leading to delays
Delays expected on A1 as road repairs continue at Crosby Rise
Higher temperatures prompt delays to resurfacing work
Treasury rejects medical society’s criticism of proposed NHS levy
Alex Allinson thinks IOMMS has the 'wrong end of the stick', as consultation continues on funding future health care provision
Delays to Manannan sailings between Douglas and Liverpool
Trips delayed by up to an hour
