Argentina has contributed little, and very probably nothing, towards the sustainable management of fishery resources within the wider SW Atlantic, and attitudes persisting within Rosana's province have merely perpetuated overfishing within the boundaries of her alleged fishing resources.

Surely Tierra del Fuego as a political entity didn't exist until fairly recently compared with the UK sovereignty over the Falklands archipelago. So how can they justify their assertions? They can't!
