More than half a million queen scallops have been moved from the route of an underwater cable following a unique collaboration.
The government worked with scientists and fishermen to locate, catch and re-home 19 tonnes of scallops ahead of work to link the island with the Havhingsten Telecommunication Cable.
Dublin-based Celtix Connect, on behalf of Aqua Comms, has been authorised to land two branches of the marine fibre optic cable at Port Erin and Port Grenaugh in the coming months.
