National sizes apply, plus the prefect's limits and bans. Check the time of the last ferry, and remember the tide floods the channel between island and mainland fast. Your catch must not be sold.
About the place
Île de Batz is the island facing Roscoff, a short ferry ride away. On big low tides, rock and sand with rich life uncover all around it. Islanders have gathered seaweed here for a long time.
