New herring quotas give Manx fisherman the opportunity to diversify

A new Isle of Man herring quota that follows two years of constructive post-Brexit discussions is said to provide a 'once-in-a-generation opportunity' for the Manx fishing industry. The deal - which was first reported in the Telegraph over the weekend - is said to have followed 'lengthy and productive talks between the Isle of Man and UK governments'. At its peak, the Manx herring industry was estimated to directly employ around 3,500 people, with a thriving kipper industry in full swing. So, what do the new rules mean for fishermen working today?  Siobhán Fletcher speaks with DEFA Minister Clare Barber.
