'Jobs will go' - Anger as Scots fishermen who raised concern about rare species are rewarded by ministers with ban
MINISTERS are facing a new legal clash with fishermen who say they face losing their livelihoods after being banned from an area of Scotland to protect an endangered fish.
Creel fishermen and scallop divers are furious that a blanket fishing ban has been imposed over one of the largest nesting sites for the critically endangered flapper skate ever found in the Inner Sound off Skye despite the Scottish Government's nature agency saying they were either low or zero threat.
