TerryMcCann Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Looking at the map I would say probably not Unless manx fishermen are going seriously off course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I found a dirty sock outside the family laundry bin this morning and thought, does this ever happen on the IOM? Oh, hang on, this is the IOM . Can someone post a map of where I will find its twin? (Probably being processed by the dog.) Now, if you thought that was an irrelevant post, don't worry, there are more!

manxchatterbox Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 areas where there are fan shells are being closed off and the scallop fishermen down in Devon are having to look at other scallop fishery areas where there aren't any fan shells - so what protects the IOM scallop fishery from being cleaned out by boats from other places????

Perhaps a large electric fence around the outer limits of Manx territorial waters would suffice. Or watchtowers and guards with Alsatians just like a prisoner of war camp. Surely there must be a solution to this outrageous threat to the Manx way of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxchatterbox Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 not a threat to Manx way of life but the Manx scallop fishing industry.... we shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
