Thousands of tonnes of silt to be dug out from Peel Marina
A silt trap is essential to stop Peel Marina filling up again.
That's according to a group representing Manx harbour users soon after the marina has been cleared.
Thousands of tonnes of silt, which has come down the river Neb, is about to be dug out.
Standing on the bridge over the Neb above Peel Marina, the Isle of Man Harbour Users Association's Captain Eddie Kaighen says just up stream is where the traps should be placed:
Reservoir levels well below daily average figures
Two Onchan reservoirs 50% full
Ministers raised doubts about 'long-term suitability' of Manxman
Vessel remains out of service for repair work
Samaritans prepare to welcome Sid as 300-mile challenge concludes
Mental health campaigner (and Quack!) has raised £20K
Maritime operation will 'map, exploit and dismantle' illicit networks
Operation Emstara took place in Irish Sea
