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:
Port Erin shop's window display is the best in the British Isles
Onchan Commissioners looking for community award nominations
Local gym gives high school facilities an upgrade
Ultrasound machine for chemotherapy unit 'will make a huge difference'
