Board member resigned from role
A former member of the Island's Scallop Management Board been prosecuted for illegal fishing.
Melvyn Reid was caught catching king scallops in his own vessel off Douglas early on 8 November last year - 22 minutes before boats are legally allowed to do so.
He was a serving member of the regulatory board at the time, but has since resigned.
Reid, of Queen's Valley in Ramsey, was fined £5,000 by magistrates last week after pleading guilty to breaching regulations.
DEFA Minister Geoffrey Boot said his department 'will continue to police [Manx] seas and prosecute those who disregard the law'.
