Fishermen demonstrate in southwest France against fishing ban

Description

"Soon the end of a profession, thank you NGOs": angry fishermen are demonstrating in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a seaside town in southwest France, to warn of "the death of small-scale fishing" as part of a "dead channel" operation in French ports. They denounce in particular the decision of the State Council to impose within six months the closure of certain fishing zones in the Atlantic in order to preserve dolphins, whose strandings have multiplied in the Bay of Biscay.
