Going by what I've read in this thread, I don't think I'll bother to search out the programme.

It's been annoying me for months that there is a French Trawler named Maranello from Roscoff often fishing off Cornwall. and appearing to be just outside what I thought was the UK 12 mile limit. Marine Traffic doesn't even show it as a fishing vessel - the AIS shows it as just "Other Vessel".

I was also shocked to read the limit is now 6 miles since Brexit:

"The new fishing agreement allows French fishers to operate in Jersey and Guernsey waters and a permitted zone between six and twelve miles from the UK coast. This agreement will be in place from now until 2026 and qualifies any fishermen who can prove they had a license to fish in these waters pre-Brexit".
