It's the French way. Don't like something? Protest and blockade, but achieve nothing.

I got grief for that from French posters of course. All blaming Brexit.
So I replied, and they all went silent.

This is not a UK/EU thing. The UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the self-governing Crown Dependency is "responsible for its own territorial waters".
The Channel Islands have never been part of the EU, so this has nothing to do with Brexit.

Jersey's status is complicated because it is not part of the UK, and it was never part of the European Union.
It is what's known as a Crown dependency, which means it has substantial freedom from Westminster, and exercises day-to-day control over its fishing waters.
However, the UK government is ultimately responsible for its international relationships. That's why access to fishing waters around the Channel Islands are dealt with specifically in the new UK-EU trade agreement.
