Belize must get its act together and stop 'selling the Belizean flag' to vessels that conduct illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing.
These vessels are the ones that abuse the Belize flag in international waters and coastal fisheries, but they are - without doubt - non-Belizean.

Don't be silly, Dany.
The Falkland has a world-wide reputation as one of the best-managed fisheries in the world

... and it could help Argentina conduct its fisheries affairs so much better if they would indulge in co-operative monitoring and research.
But No, Argentina is going all out to destroy its fisheries through over-fishing to extinction.

Fish are no respecter of EEZ boundaries; the Argentines are prepared to fish to extinction to stop TFI from catching them.

Sad.
