Argentina created the Maritime Fisheries Inspection Service on 18 March 1938. Inspectors monitored fishing practices along the Atlantic coast to ensure compliance with national regulations. Their work aimed to prevent overfishing and protect valuable marine species. The service also evaluated fish quality for domestic consumption and export. Its operations supported the growing fishing industry by improving standards. Over time, the agency helped strengthen sustainability in marine resource use. Its founding marked an important step in national fisheries management.
