Nature groups protest at mussel fishing
Environmental groups are protesting at a fishing ministry decision to give mussel fishermen a permit to harvest the last mussel bank in the western Wadden Sea. The Council of State will hear the case on May 4.
Last year the Council cut the total permited mussel harvest from 150,000 tonnes to 100,000 tonnes after similar protests.
