This Climate Week, we’re defending an unsung climate champion: Antarctica’s Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean helps regulate the climate for the entire planet and drive our ocean currents. But unprecedented levels of krill fishing, carried out by a handful of countries, are threatening to disrupt this fragile ecosystem. Krill are being harvested to feed farmed fish and to put in health supplements. This disruption risks accelerating the climate crisis in dangerous and unknown ways. Worse still, the industry profiting from extracting krill is now pushing to double krill fishing levels, driving the ecosystem to a dangerous tipping point. The planet can’t afford to take this risk. Join the #AntarcticAvengers in the call for an end to krill fishing in the Southern Ocean. We must protect wildlife and safeguard both Antarctic ecosystems and the climate systems they help regulate. #ClosetheSouthernOceantoFishing #AntarcticAvengers #Antarctica #Explore
