20 people have responded to a government consultation into harbour redevelopment.
Eight harbours are in need of fixing up and commercialisation including Douglas, Laxey, Ramsey, Peel, Port Erin, Port St Mary, Castletown and Derbyhaven.
Last month the Department of Infrastructure encouraged individuals and private organisations to give their ideas.
It will now talk to interested parties to find out more about them before starting the next phase of the project.
Director of ports Anne Reynolds explains what they'll be looking for in the next stage of the consultation:
Council announces final dates for garden waste collection
Manx Utilities hopes sewer cleaning means end of odour problems
What's being done to tackle crash blackspots?
New TT schedule will be reviewed on yearly basis
No successful driving theory test appeals in past 10 years
Steam Packet announces tomorrow morning's sailings will go on time
Firefighter to raise money by wearing full gear in fitness competition
