Jersey Airport Grounds Used for Destruction of Decommissioned Fishing Fleet
Ports of Jersey has been ordered to destroy twelve commercial fishing boats at the island's airport. The action is the final stage of a government decommissioning scheme designed to create a more sustainable and viable fishing industry. Fishermen were financially compensated to surrender their boat licenses and the vessels themselves. The boats are being systematically crushed to ensure they are permanently removed from the fleet. This marks an unusual use of airport land for non-aviation industrial activity.
