The joke is that when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon the first thing he saw was a Spanish fishing boat. They are everywhere. They need to be regulated.
It's good that the Falkland Islanders and Govenor of South Georgia are regulating fishing so that wildlife and the environment is protected. In the 1960s there was a handful of fur seals on S Georgia, now there are millions. The rat population are being tacked too.
