Microplastics, found in remote locations and animals, including humans, are a growing concern. A live exploration on the krill industry and its impact on whale populations near Antarctica is being discussed. The industrial-scale krill harvests are conflicting with the revival of whale populations, leading to a food fight at the bottom of the world. The booming krill fishery in Antarctic seas, now dense with whales, is causing concern due to several whales dying in nets set for the tiny crustaceans.
This afternoon at 2pm Pacific, please join me, Liz Taylor, and author Paul Greenberg for a conversation about the deep scattering layer of the ocean, hosted by @OceanElders! #DiveInWithUs @subseaconcierge @4fishgreenberg https://t.co/4flsxNm9a3
Here's a sobering highlight from my #sustainwhat chat on the booming krill fishery in #Antarctic seas now dense with whales. In 2021, several whales died in nets set for vast blooms of these tiny crustaceans bound for omega-3 oils and salmon farms. I offered responses sent by… https://t.co/y7yleNJKse

Talking krill fishing in Antarctica today at 3 p.m EST w/ @Revkin. Whales feed on the crustacean. But increasingly krill is showing up in dietary supplements and even dog food. Don't miss a conversation on the food fight at the bottom of the world. https://t.co/hBA3obfcCz
Microplastics are turning up everywhere, from remote mountain tops to deep ocean trenches. They also are in many animals, including humans. https://t.co/7affTgaMvK
