stavvers twitterde op dinsdag 04-09-2018 om 10:36:26 For those not in the know. UK ships are basically exploiting a loophole in fishing agreement which means they can dredge scallops in French water during the time the beds are supposed to be resting, replenishing and spawning. The French are pissed, and taking direct action. https://t.co/rbizdPXSet reageer retweet

stavvers twitterde op dinsdag 04-09-2018 om 10:43:21 Now, chances are the French navy can't do much, because technically the UK deploying these practices and fucking up scallop stocks for everyone, particularly France, is technically legal due to aforesaid loophole in EU regulations. reageer retweet

stavvers twitterde op dinsdag 04-09-2018 om 10:45:16 How the fuck ever, those UK fishers probably already fucked up even the smallest chance of the UK getting a remotely favourable fishing deal post-brexit by being complete fucking dickheads about this. reageer retweet

stavvers twitterde op dinsdag 04-09-2018 om 10:56:03 I did not actually know this detail, but it makes full sense that they'd have the resources to spot the loophole here, and realise that UK boats can dredge those waters even when they absolutely shouldn't be. https://t.co/Docr9wDS2S reageer retweet

stavvers twitterde op dinsdag 04-09-2018 om 11:05:01 btw scallop dredging is pretty ecologically questionable even at the best of times; it damages the sea bed. While having time off can help heal the damage done a bit, it's not as sustainable as the "sustainable fish" sticker might say reageer retweet

stavvers twitterde op dinsdag 04-09-2018 om 11:12:47 this thread was brought to you by the ghost of my granddad Bill, who talked at length about international fishing agreements and to my surprise, apparently some of it sank in. reageer retweet

stavvers twitterde op dinsdag 04-09-2018 om 11:22:25 Anyway, while I'm here, a quick word on sustainability and scallops: don't eat them in winter, and ask if they've been dredged - it's MUCH better for the environment if they're hand-dived. reageer retweet

Vreemde gang van zaken. De Fransen verzinnen regels voor hun eigen vissers en gaan die ook aan anderen proberen op te leggen, terwijl er volgens Europese afspraken gewoon vrij in elkaars wateren gevist mag worden. Het wordt tijd dat de EU ingrijpt en deze illegale Franse acties zwaar bestraft.

Eigenlijk zouden de Fransen hun marine in moeten zetten tegen hun eigen vissers. En de EU zou dat moeten afdwingen. De Britse marine mag niet voor politie spelen in Franse wateren.
