Jersey and French fisherman unite at the Minquiers in protest over fishing rights
Jersey fishermen joined their French counterparts in a protest against the "erosion" of their fishing rights by their respective governments.
Normandy's regional fishing committee - known as CRPMEM - organised a protest in waters near the Minquiers at 12pm on Wednesday 17 October.
Two Jersey boats joined around 30 French ones over concerns that they felt "abandoned", with "limited access" to Channel waters.
Among the concerns mentioned were Jersey's plans for an offshore wind project and its Marine Spatial Plan.
