A fishermen from the French city of Boulogne walks past burning tyres blocking the access to the port of Boulogne- sur- Mer on January 25, 2018, during a protest against “pulse fishing” practiced by Dutch fishermen. French fishermen blocked the port of Calais, preventing cross- Channel ferries arriving or departing, and a road leading to the port of Boulogne- sur- Mer, about 30 kilometres (20 miles) southwest of Calais, to demand a ban on electric pulse fishing in the North Sea. Pulse fishing involves dragging electrically- charged lines just above the seafloor that shock marine life up from low- lying positions into trawling nets. (Photo by Philippe Huguen/AFP Photo)
