In a dispute dubbed the “scallop wars”, French fishermen who participated in an expedition to stop their British counterparts from fishing near the Normandy coast said on Aug. 30 they were ready to continue fighting for the rich catch if no agreement is found.
French and British scallop dredgers rammed into each other on Tuesday in Seine Bay over access to the scallop-rich seabed after French vessels tried to chase their rivals out of the zone, hurling projectiles and insults.
