Embracing the splendour of #Antarctica 's biodiversity on #WorldKrillDay ! 🎉🦐
Join us in honouring these minuscule marvels that wield immense ecological power. Let's continue to unlock the mysteries of krill, ensuring a sustainable future for both Antarctica and our planet.
#Krill and other Antarctic species are threatened by concentrated fishing and #ClimateChange . We cannot wait any longer - we need #CCAMLR to establish new #MPAs in the #SouthernOcean in order to preserve Antarctica's precious marine life and ecosystems.

Happy #WorldKrillDay ! 🦐

Happy #WorldKrillDay from Nipaluna attending the CMS_UTas showcase event on addressing complex issues for sustainable management of the Oceans, now and for the future.
We need sustainable #krill fisheries management and greater protection for this key #SouthernOcean species.
