Fisherman on Shore
Last month, 18 Albanian migrants were rescued when the rigid inflatable they were on suffered engine failure near the village of Dymchurch in Kent.Two British men onboard the vessel were detained by police and have since been charged with people smuggling.
Officials have urged migrants not to try to make the highly dangerous crossing of the English Channel in small, often seaworthy boats.
