§ Mr. Michael ForsythLocal fishermen have imposed voluntary restrictions on catches of very young sand eels, on which Arctic terns feed extensively, and the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland is monitoring the effectiveness of these measures to determine whether further management measures may be required. DAFS scientists are also participating in, and helping to co-ordinate, a co-operative programme of research designed to establish the reasons for the reduced availability of sand eels for food.
