The mixed Spanish-British fishing company, illegally established in Malvinas and operating under a Malvina Islands registration, formed by Argos Group Ltd. and its partner Armadora Pereira SA; had announced that on Monday 17th they planned that the “Argos Berbes” - their new fishing vessel built by the Galician gunner Nodosa and launched on November 28th - would arrive yesterday in Puerto Argentino. However, on the way between Montevideo and the archipelago, the ship began fishing in the sector known as Agujero Azul , some 600 kilometers north of the islands.
The ship, which left the port of Vigo on January 15 and arrived in Montevideo on the 31st, should have already been in the Malvinas. But the abundance of fish made it change its objective.
This can be documented through the Global Fishing Watch platform, which has located it since last week, east of Comodoro Rivadavia, outside the Exclusive Economic Zone of Argentina, but also outside the colonial and military control area of the United Kingdom of Great Britain; in a procedure of speed and navigation sequence typical of fishing.
The Blue Hole is a maritime area of 148,000 km2 located within the Argentine Continental Shelf; it is located about 500 km from the coast of the Gulf of San Jorge, and therefore, beyond the 200 nautical miles of the Atlantic coast of our country. But it intends to be categorized as a Strict Marine National Reserve through a project of the WCS , the Wildlife Conservation Society (the American society for the conservation of Wildlife), who, as a paradoxical fact, illegally acquired two islands north of Malvinas, bordering this sector where the "Argos Berbes" now fishes.
In this sector of the South Atlantic, the modern 2,499-ton vessel, 85 metres long and 14 metres wide, puts its work, functionality and technology into practice; fishing without any tax, the Argentine migratory resource, which no government of this country plans to protect from the massive depredation of which it is a victim. In this case, the joint plundering by the Spanish and the British.
