Stocks under pressure

Big illuminated sign at the slipway

There'll be mixed opinion, of course. But the scallops are closed for the year. It will be interesting to see the effect this has on the trailer park and the campsite. I have an opinion, of course. I think that rather than close it for a year and then open it again, you might do better to say divers only. Divers don't disturb the sea bed the way dredges do. Fewer people are prepared to go to the trouble of buying the gear and learning to scuba dive than will buy a dredge and throw it off the back of the boat. Just a thought.
