40 chalutiers français écrasent 5 bateaux anglais et la Royal Navy ne fait rien

40 French trawlers crush 5 British boats and the Royal Navy does nothing. On the night of August 28, 2018, in the heart of the Bay of Seine, five British trawlers found themselves surrounded by some forty French vessels during the infamous "scallop war." Stones, flares, and collisions ensued: the British fled and pleaded in vain for the protection of the Royal Navy. From this standoff in the English Channel to the blockade of Jersey in 2021, and then to the icy waters of Kerguelen, 3,000 km from Réunion Island, discover how France became one of the world's leading fishing powers. You will understand why, with the help of the French Navy, it protects the Patagonian toothfish, this extremely rare fish that sells for up to 25 euros per kilo, and how it reduced poaching by nearly 90% after a 110-day manhunt against the last pirates of the Southern Ocean.
