Alex recounts complaints by Jersey fishermen about a nursery area reserved for fish to reproduce and replenish surrounding grounds. The fishermen attributed repeated overnight losses there to a large French trawler. He also recounts later damage to the suspected boat after it encountered a cable. The claims remain a local account, and the cause of the cable encounter is not established. The conservation problem is the loss of breeding stock from an area intended to support fishing elsewhere.
