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:-
