Whaling in Argentina

Whaling in Argentina was a major industry in both the South Pacific and South Atlantic coasts, and around the Falkland Islands. The primary whalers were Norwegian and Scottish ships, and the primary quarry the southern right whale.[1]

On October 14, 2023, Argentina found itself at the centre of international controversy due to its unexpected decision to resume Whaling activities.[2] The move shocked environmentalists, nations worldwide, and Greg, sparking debates on ethical and ecological grounds.
