FRENCH, BRITISH BOATS CLASH OVER SCALLOPS英仏“ホタテ戦争”

And now to an international dispute dubbed the "Scallop Wars." French and British officials are in talks after fishermen clashed at sea over access to scallops.
Tensions flared between fishermen on Tuesday in waters between the two countries. Around 35 French boats reportedly rammed five British vessels, before rocks were thrown and insults were exchanged.
The dispute focuses on the fact that the French are restricted by law from scallop fishing between May and October in order to sustain stock. But British boats are legally permitted to fish year-round, and French fishermen are angry about that.
Tuesday's incident was the latest in a string of clashes in a dispute lasting over a decade. No one was injured, but several boats were damaged.
Fishermen from both sides have also pledged to sit down on land in order to work things out.
