Email from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society The Southern Ocean is one of the most remote places on Earth, yet the pressure on it has never been greater. SHOP | SUPPORT | VOLUNTEER Antarctica’s Whales Under Threat Dear John,  The Southern Ocean is one of the most remote places on Earth, yet the pressure on it has never been greater.  Every year, fleets of massive industrial trawlers descend on Antarctic waters and haul in staggering amounts of krill, billions of these tiny crustaceans that whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds depend on for survival. In fact, this year’s haul was one of the largest ever recorded. Krill are the foundation of the Antarctic food web. Remove them, and entire ecosystems collapse. For whales in particular, krill mean life itself. Sea Shepherd has stood guard in these waters for decades, showing the power of presence and the importance of defending this fragile balance. But the threat has only grown. That’s why we’re fighting on two fronts: At Sea: Documenting industrial krill extraction and pressing for large scale marine protected areas. At Home: Driving demand away from krill oil. Through our partnership with Seavoir, an algae based omega-3, every person can make a choice that keeps krill in the ocean where they belong. Take Action with Our Krill Action Kit  Pressing major retailers to stop stocking krill oil products. Together, we can shift both consumer behavior and corporate policy. ACCESS TOOLKIT Antarctica belongs to whales, penguins, and future generations - not factory trawlers. Thank you for standing with us to keep it that way.
