New long-term plan to deliver thriving scallop fishery

Fishermen, producers and marine scientists are set to co-manage the Island's multi-million pound king scallop fishery.

The government has announced new plans to deliver a 'thriving' fishery which is both sustainable and prosperous.

In the short term, the plan will address critical challenges and explore low-impact harvesting methods to reduce carbon emissions.

The plan received strong support during a consultation and work in some areas has already started ahead of the new season in November.
