Fishermen say they’re extremely concerned over government plans to get rid of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
Earlier today outside the House of Keys, Tom Bryan-Brown of the Isle of Man Fishermen’s Association joined farmers protesting against the moves.
He says many of the association’s members are currently at sea fishing for scallops – but felt it was important to be represented at the demonstration.
Mr Bryan-Brown says moving responsibility for the Island’s fisheries into a new Department of Communities, Culture and Leisure is proving deeply unpopular within the industry.
