Public consultation launched on king scallop fishery

The Department of Environment, Food and Agricuture 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.
