I told @AP that the "krill fishery is having an impact already, even at a low level of fishing.” #CCAMLR needs to do more to protect #krill and the 🐧🦭🐋 that call the #SouthernOcean home👇 #ProtectAntarctica @DonaBertarelli @pewenvironment youtube.com/watch?v=KyvK9y4W…

Antarctica is one of the fastest-warming regions in the world.
Unfortunately, “an inability to step outside rigid party positions” derailed talks to protect the region last month at #CCAMLR, according to @genevieve_pons and @PascalLAMYPPF. @DBPhilanthropy pew.org/4ev7ft2

Should we be fishing in Antarctica’s Southern Ocean at all? The complete failure of #CCAMLR to keep basic krill regs in place let alone improve them or create #MPAs begs the ? Recent whale deaths highlight risks from Antarctica's booming krill fishery apnews.com/article/antarctic…

Protecting the #SouthernOcean with a network of #MPAs must be a global priority to achieve #OceanConservation goals like #30x30 and is a smart step for #ClimateAction Let's hope global leaders at #UNGA and #ClimateWeek take up the challenge!

In Antarctica’s Southern Ocean lives a small creature that needs protection: #krill.
But it faces threats from concentrated fishing and a warming planet.
What can be done to protect them & the species that rely on them?

It’s #WorldKrillDay 🦐 DYK? Antarctic #krill act as a giant conveyor belt, constantly moving carbon down from the water’s surface by eating carbon-capturing algae, then dropping carbon-filled poop at the bottom of the ocean. Today we celebrate this tiny but mighty crustacean!

Women, do you think it’s a GOOD thing that Tim Walz fought to make menstrual products available and free for every girl in Minnesota public schools?

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.
