This shouldn’t be happening🛑. Hundreds of whales gather in Antarctica to feed. But even here, where life should be protected, industrial plundering continues. We’re back, exposing the destruction and CCAMLR's failure to act.

In case you missed it: We're back in #Antarctica—where, on day one, we saw 500 fin whales feeding as super trawlers pushed in. They steered into the pods, using the whales to find the krill. And the worst part? It's completely legal. 👉 #StopThePlunder.

This year, three whales were killed by the destructive Antarctic krill fleets. 🛑. These deaths leave us no choice but to return, again. But we can’t do it without you. 🌊Together, we drove out the Japanese whalers. Now, we must stop the krill supertrawlers before it’s too late.

A historic vote is underway at the #CCAMLR meeting to establish an MPA along the Antarctic Peninsula.This action is key to curbing krill fishing that depletes vital food for marine life, threatening the ecosystem crucial for our planet’s climate regulation.

Every fishing vessel leaves a mark—some just hide it better.🐟 While we can’t stop legal operations, we can track their impact and help arrest those crossing the line. Want to uncover the stories behind the worst offenders? Dive into our Rogues Gallery! 👀

On days when there is no grind to document, we're still hard at work, making a difference in other ways in the #FaroeIslands. Today, that means rolling up our sleeves and cleaning these beautiful beaches—part of our commitment to leaving the islands better than we found them. 🙌
