    Falkland Islands reply to Milko Schvartzman comments on fisheries

    There is only a small fleet (18) of Falkland flagged fishing vessels. These all operate to high standards as British vessels.

    The comments by Milko Schvartzman on the Falkland’s fishery in FIS on 2 June 2015, are incorrect and uninformed in many areas. We reject the inference that the Falkland Islands Government promotes a fisheries industry based on modern-day slavery and on piracy. The Falkland Islands have a long history of responsible environmental stewardship, and we pride ourselves on protecting and safeguarding our unique environment and the natural resources therein.
