Chief seeking 'mutual' way forward
Howard Quayle has denied a U-turn is coming over changes to scallop fishing regulations.
An announcement is due shortly, after the Chief Minister and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon entered talks to find a 'mutually agreeable solution'.
Fishermen there have protested against a planned change to the rules, which would require licenced vessels to check in with Manx port authorities every day.
Scottish broadsheet The Herald dubbed it a 'scallop war' - Mr Quayle has branded those headlines 'sensationalist'.
He says discussions with the SNP leader have been 'very friendly':
Crash which closed the Mountain Road ahead of racing 'not too serious'
Fine for pair who brought drugs to Island in campervan toilet
TT campers in 'high spirits' despite rain affecting race week
Delay to TT schedule following Mountain Road crash
Influencers told 'get your facts right' about Island's speed limits
