LONDON, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Windward (LSE: WNWD), the leading Maritime AITM company, announced today that Prefectura Naval Argentina (PNA), the maritime law enforcement agency of Argentina, has chosen Windward's platform to enhance its maritime domain awareness. By using Windward's platform, the law enforcement agency will be able to monitor activities in areas of interest and major waterways in order to address threats such as smuggling and Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.
In South America, IUU fishing is a notorious problem that needs to be addressed. It is estimated that almost a third of the Chinese fishing fleet's 3,000 ships operate in South America, particularly near the exclusive economic zone of Argentina. A number of measures have been taken by the Argentina government in order to prevent illegal fishing in the maritime areas under its jurisdiction, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea - through the control and prevention of unauthorized intrusions into its exclusive economic zone.. It is through increasing its awareness of the maritime domain that it hopes to reduce the negative impact that any illegal activities may have on security, the environment, and, ultimately, socio-economic development in the region.
