French Fishing Boats Begin Leaving Jersey Waters: Brexit Update Bloomberg 5 hrs ago Joe Mayes and Ania Nussbaum
(Bloomberg) French fishermen are leaving the British isle of Jersey and ending their protest over post-Brexit fishing rights, after the U.K. and France sent military patrol ships to the area.
Representatives of the fishing fleet, who are upset at the conditions attached to licenses needed to operate in the area, said they had made their point and will be heading back to France.
Two British military ships were deployed Wednesday night to the island ahead of a potential blockade by the fishing boats, in what the U.K. called a precautionary measure. France said it sent two vessels Thursday morning to guarantee the safety of everyone at sea.
