A friend mentioned to me that some Argie politician introduced a No Salmon Farming rule in Tierra del Fuego some years back.

Does anyone have any background or info on this?

That sounds like it is true @GlasgowJohn. I found this online.

Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, has become the first region in the world to ban salmon farming in its waters. This decision, made by the provincial legislature on June 30, 2021, was driven by significant environmental concerns and the potential negative impact on local economies and ecosystems.

The ban specifically targets intensive open-net salmon farming, which has been linked to various environmental issues in other countries, such as Norway, Chile, and Scotland. These issues include the spread of sea lice, algal blooms, and the use of antibiotics, all of which can harm local marine life and ecosystems.

The legislation in Tierra del Fuego prohibits the cultivation and production of salmonids in its jurisdictional waters to protect the region’s natural resources and biodiversity. The decision was heavily influenced by campaigns and demonstrations from local communities and environmental groups, emphasizing the importance of preserving the pristine marine environment and supporting sustainable economic activities like tourism and artisanal fishing

Very sad news indeed. But I am confused. Was it an illegal fishing boat? It says in the article that they weren't fishing. What were they doing then?
