A protest over post-Brexit rights by French fishermen at Jersey's main port has ended, following talks that aimed to resolve the row.
About 60 boats protested at St Helier and two Royal Navy ships and two French vessels were sent to the area.
French fishermen say their rights are unfairly restricted by licences issued under the Channel Island's new system.
Jersey's External Relations Minister Ian Gorst said discussions were "positive".
However, a spokesman for fishermen from France's Normandy region suggested that no progress had been made during the talks.
