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:-
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Programme is for eligible Year 13 students and under-25s
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Price tag has jumped up by £600,000 since scheme was first approved
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
RNLI crew tows vessel back into harbour
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
Police say there's no indication of any wider risk to the public
MHK 'frustrated' at pace of progress over cigarettes and vaping products
