The UK's decision to withdraw from the London Fisheries Convention will not have an effect on the Island.
That's according to the Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Geoffrey Boot.
Last week UK Environment Secretary Michael Gove announced the decision to leave the agreement which allows foreign countries to fish in British waters.
The department says it will continue to monitor the future of fisheries policy as the UK renegotiates its position during the Brexit process.
Mr Boot says the Island knew of the plans in advance:
