RESTRICTIONS are being introduced for Lyme Bay fishermen in a project to help conservation.
A new voluntary code of conduct has been agreed with fishermen in the Lyme Bay marine conservation area.
Under the terms of the code, which comes into force today, the amount of gear used by any one fisherman will be restricted to 250 crab and lobster pots, 500 whelk pots and individual nets of 600 metres maximum.
See Tuesday's Echo for the full story.
