Watson explains that industrial factory trawlers are currently stripping the Southern Ocean of #krill (the foundational food source for #whales, #penguins, and the #phytoplankton responsible for most of the planet’s oxygen) to produce fish meal and supplements.

'It smells like a rancid fish and chip shop': at sea with the Antarctic's krill supertrawlers It is bitterly cold on the deck of the Allankay and the bosun, Luca Massari, is checking that none of us are wearing contact lenses before we descend into Antarctic waters. There is a risk, he warns, that lenses will freeze solid over the eyes. Massari himself is prepared for his surroundings. He is wearing thick goggles that make him look like an Olympic ski jumper. Massari is a burly, heavily tattooed veteran of the environmental organisation Sea Shepherd, which campaigns against exploitating the oceans. His deck team are preparing to launch the ship’s small boat, which Massari will helm. Eight of us are bundled in bright red dry suits, helmets and lifejackets; the average time to survive hypothermia in this wind-whipped water is just five minutes. I am in the waters off Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands, a glaciated 25-mile finger of jagged mountain slopes a day’s sail from the Antarctic peninsula. It is as isolated as a place can be. Yet Sea Shepherd contends that it is the site of one of the most inaccessible and environmentally ruinous industrial workplaces on Earth. Sea Shepherd is referring to fishing for krill – the small, shrimp-like marine crustaceans...

dm, Europe's Largest Drugstore Retailer, Drops All Krill Products In a statement to Sea Shepherd, dm confirmed that it has stopped using krill oil in all its private-label products and will discontinue sourcing all krill-based products across its entire range, in alignment with its sustainability commitments. As one of Europe’s largest drugstore chains, dm operates more than 4,000 retail stores across the continent, making it the largest drugstore retailer to date to drop the sale of krill products. The Sea Shepherd vessel Allankay is currently in Antarctica, facilitating the work of an independent team of scientists, studying the impact of the krill fishery on whale populations. Media captured by Sea Shepherd has sent shockwaves through the health and wellness sector, and dm is the latest drugstore that has acted on this evidence and withdrawn from the krill market. The decision follows constructive dialogue with Sea Shepherd and heightened scrutiny of the Antarctic krill fishery brought about by four consecutive Sea Shepherd expeditions to the Southern Ocean. During these campaigns, Sea Shepherd routinely documented industrial supertrawlers operating among foraging whale pods inside a proposed marine protected area. Photographic evidence gathered at sea was submitted to dm-drogeri markt, alongside concerns about weakening regulations governing the rapidly expanding krill fishery. Krill are...

"Roughly the size and weight of a paperclip, krill are responsible for sustaining some of our most iconic marine species, including seals, penguins and whales," writes Cody Robinson.
