French and British naval ships have left waters near the island of Jersey, after a major dispute over fishing rights escalated rapidly.
And it is mostly due to Brexit.
At issue are new licenses that the island, which is part of the British Isles, imposed last week.
French fishermen say the rules make it harder for them to operate in waters they have worked in for generations.
Al Jazeera's Natacha Butler has been there.
