The angry movement of the fishermen increased on Thursday, March 30. Many ports are blocked throughout France and this should continue tomorrow with consequences on the stalls.
Posted at the entrance to the port of Le Havre, nearly 60 boats from almost everywhere in France blocked access on Thursday March 30. “I think it’s good that we all stick together and that we don’t give up”says a fisherman. Repeated bans, quotas, diesel prices, the reasons for anger are numerous. For a fisherman from Arcachon, the feeling of relentlessness dominates. The European plan to ban trawl fishing in marine protected areas seems unfair to him.
Preserve the resource
In Brest (Finistère), a few boats were on the water and on land, nearly 700 fishermen. The whole industry made its dissatisfaction known. In Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Pyrenees-Atlantiques)the fish market is closed, no sales on the stalls. Fishermen fear for their future. For an NGO, the environmental constraints will make it possible to preserve the resource and guarantee the future of the sector.
