Spanish fishermen protest over Gibraltar reef

Spanish fishermen have protested over an artificial reef created by the government in Gibraltar.

Several boats sailed into disputed waters around the British territory, saying the reef restricted their rights to fish in the seas around Gibraltar.

Tensions between Spain, Great Britain and Gibraltar have risen recently, after the creation of the reef and retaliatory measures by the Spanish government, who is questioning the legitimacy of the British territory.
