Minister says process needs to be followed
The Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture says the announcement over catch limits for king scallop fishing wasn't delayed unduly.
There was some criticism earlier this week over a lack of news with the new season opening tomorrow.
Geoffrey Boot says the recommendations from the Island's scallop management board were supported in full.
It means a 20% reduction on last year's limits.
Mr Boot says there's a process which needs to be followed:-
Warning for 'disorderly' parents attending schools
Police tell people to follow 'appropriate channels' with concerns
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
Travel disruption likely
New board members sought for abattoir
Recruitment process now open
Controversial local authority legislation debate deferred to end of March
Clause five could see functions imposed on authorities without financial support
Island offers consumer fuel protection advice
Price of oil rises steeply due to conflict in Middle East
