Falklands’ fisheries: 25 years of success and one of the two best managed in the world
The announcement this week that the catches for the first loligo season for 2012 totaled 34,900 metric tones, equal to more than the entire catch for 2011, coincides with the 25th anniversary of the opening of the Falkland Island fishery. Read full article

Apr 23rd, 2012 - 02:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0it seems like 41 million Argentinians don't give a shit about the other 41 million who live in Argentina though...
Argentina would be well advised to consider the ramification of withdrawal from simple scientific exchanges at the south-west atlantic fisheries management with the Falklands, and to step back from its current policy of active and blatant depradation of straddling and migratory fish stocks. Yet another Kirchner policy of trying to economically and politically cripple the Falklands, but Falklands is all good news as evidenced by the above article.

It is certainly no surprise that the fishing stocks in the Falklands are well managed because the Falklands is well governed. The community there place on lot of importance on conserving their environment.
Apr 23rd, 2012 - 09:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0In contrast, Argentina is governed by a foolish, corrupt and short sighted government....the well-regarded Economist magazine has published another article this week, that condemns the Argentine government after its irresponsible nationalisation of the Spanish oil company there.
No reason why our fisheries shouldn't be well managed, any decent nation can manage their resources properly....unless, of course, you're a nation of stupid, greedy, self-serving dickheads like Argentina is.

Apr 23rd, 2012 - 11:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0I do.
I also care about the fisheries and other wildlife, both terrestrial and marine.
I care about conservation of populations and communities,
and about the depredations of stocks by over-exploitation.
The world is not well served by current Argentinian attitudes in these matters.
It is clear from the hysteria shown here by the Malvanistas that they feel threatened by the continuing success emanating from the FIG commercial and conservancy decisions for the Falklands (there are no Malvinas).
Apr 23rd, 2012 - 12:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Contrast this with the abject lack of cohesive policies on any subject shown by the present bunch of corrupt 'government' ministers of Argentina, led by the Mad Bitch herself and the FatBoy wanabee president: he of the malevolent demeanour.
If it were not for the constant harassment of the peaceful inhabitants of the Falklands I, and I suspect many others, would not even bother with Argentina.
I do.

Sure geoff,why you as a brits,do not care about the 3million unemployed in uk and the thousand of civilians,killed in Irak,Afganistan,etc by uk irresponsability,piracy,and crokkednes....I bet you can not sleep thinking on them.....
I said it again: I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE MALVINENSES!!
Malviner01 THEN WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP COMMENTING ON THE FALKLAND ISLANDS? (anyone else think 11's full of bullshit?)

As Malv says (#11),
Yes, I do lay awake at night considering how different it might have been if:
the UK had not joined the EEC with its CFP/CAP,
the UK had rejected nuclear armaments in the Polaris era,
the UK had kept up its nuclear energy programme and developed tidal power,
the UK had rejected the Blair/Brown governments/wars,
the UK had controlled the banks' lendings via Labour's Chancellors, the FSA and the BoE,
the UK had exercised effective border control.
We might have had a different UK/world; perhaps not a better one, but certainly a different one.
This is not hindsight in 20:20 vision;
these are things I fought for, with the success that is apparent to all :-(
The number and efficiency of modern fishing fleets is such that any marine stocks not managed, and well managed, simply will not be there in a few years time.
Apr 23rd, 2012 - 07:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does anyone know what is Argentina’s policy on fisheries management, since the end of cooperation.
@11 Malvinero1,
Apr 24th, 2012 - 08:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0And we do not care about you either, you halfwit.
@12 cornishair,
Yes agree with you. Malvi-baby is full of it & a blithering idiot too.
