Zona de Exclusión (Falklands)

The Zona de Exclusión (Exclusion Zone) around the Falklands refers to an area established by Argentina, claiming sovereignty over the waters and surrounding maritime regions. It is intended to assert their territorial rights and limit access, especially for foreign fishing vessels and ships. This zone is part of ongoing territorial disputes, emphasizing Argentina’s assertion of sovereignty over the islands and their surrounding maritime areas, although the UK maintains control. The zone influences maritime navigation, resource rights, and regional security, and it remains a point of contention between Argentina and the UK.
