An argument has been brewing for weeks between France and the UK over new post-Brexit fishing rules. Last month, the UK banned bottom trawling in part of its protected waters.

But French fishermen say it threatens their livelihoods and some who depend heavily on these waters claim they are being unfairly targeted. What is the basis of the bottom trawling dispute?The British government announced that the harmful practice was prohibited in certain...

It updates a 2017 technical report, providing new information on how tide-, wind- and storm-driven water levels affect current future flood risk....

Washington (AFP) - Sea otters are a hardy lot. The smallest of all marine mammals with the thickest fur of the animal kingdom, they can hold their breath for up to eight minutes while they dive for prey like clams and crabs, which they're known to crack open using rocks.
