Join us for a crucial discussion about the future of krill, the essential crustaceans that play a vital role in the Southern Ocean’s food chain surrounding Antarctica. The overfishing of krill for Omega-3 oil products not only endangers these tiny creatures but also threatens a significant carbon sink that absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. This exclusive video event features environmental journalist Ashlan Cousteau from EarthEcho International, along with experts from Newday Impact Investing, Ocean Exchange, Monger.Fish, Ocean Power Technologies, environmental activist Melissa Walton, and Elizabeth Kim from the U.S. State Department’s Office of Ocean and Polar Affairs.
Protecting krill and other species could be achieved through the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Southern Ocean. However, there are financial and political obstacles on the path to conservation. Discover the current status and find out how you can contribute to this important cause.
