Keys to discuss protected areas for marine life

Marine wildlife living off the Island's coast will be the subject of questions in the House of Keys next week.

When members sit on Tuesday, Arbory, Castletown, and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will ask about dolphins, whales and sharks.

He'll quiz Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Geoffrey Boot if the Island has any plans to introduce safe havens for the animals in Manx waters.

In particular, he wants to know if there'll be protected areas for Risso's Dolphins, Minke Whales and Basking Sharks in the Island's territorial waters.
