Sea Shepherd Returns to Antarctica to Save Whales by Protecting Krill

Sea Shepherd will return to Antarctica in early 2025 to protect krill and, ultimately, the whales that depend on them. The organization aims to combat the krill fishing industry, which is harming the Antarctic ecosystem. They plan to collect data and monitor supertrawlers that are overfishing krill, jeopardizing marine wildlife. This effort follows a recent failure to establish a marine protected area due to disagreements within the governing body, CCAMLR. The goal is to raise awareness and push for conservation measures that will benefit both krill and the whales that rely on them.
