As part of the most recent review of inshore fishing prohibitions under the Inshore Fishing (Scotland) Act 1984, the Scottish Executive received a large volume of representations from creel and trawl interests in the Loch Torridon area.The latest scientific work carried out by Fisheries Research Services indicates that nephrops stocks in the Torridon area are reasonably healthy and a mixed gear fishery appears to be sustainable.The Executive has maintained that any change to the existing closures would be best decided by local dialogue and agreement.
