Re: SAINT DENNIS and SAINT PIERRE trawlers.
In 2016 the SAINT PIERRE was owned by Denis SA, Valparaiso, and under Chile flag and registry.
The ROBIN M LEE is shown on the £1.22 stamp with the ‘Science’ theme. The Falkland’s fishery management system is science based. Regular scientific cruises are undertaken on fishing vessels and there is comprehensive ‘on board’ scientific observer coverage. Real time data is forwarded to a dedicated team of scientists in the Falkland Islands Government Fisheries Department. The Falkland Calamari in the foreground is the most widely caught across the fleet.
