To the west of Port Erin Bay a 2km2 area of seabed was closed to commercial fishing and towed gear in 1989. The University of Liverpool, at Port Erin Marine Laboratory (PEML), ran an experiment in this closed area since 1994 to investigate the effects of scallop dredging. C.

An experiment has been run in this closed area since 1994 to investigate the effects of scallop dredging. Plots of seabed were exposed to different treatments:Two untouched - controls (CA2, CA4) experimentally dredged every 2-3 months - by PEML (CA1, CA4) outside closed area - exposed to commercial fishing (CAN1, CAN2, CAW).
