What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Salmon and sea-trout netting restricted zone (Peel Bay to Ramsey).
Byelaws prohibit all netting activity from the beach and to 750 metres seawards in a restricted zone consisting of the beaches from the north end of Peel Bay, round the Point of Ayre, to the northern side of Ramsey Harbour, to protect salmon and sea trout. (Relates to netting, not spear, but indicates a protected migratory-fish corridor; retaining salmon/sea-trout caught at sea is an offence island-wide.)
