Fighting the Krill Collapse
Unprecedented footage and firsthand accounts show ocean conservation organization Sea Shepherd’s passionate crew at work on the frontlines as they race to protect one of the planet’s most precious resources — krill that is being harvested to feed farmed fish and for use in Omega 3 supplements. This is the same krill needed to feed whales, seals, and penguins in the icy waters of Antarctica.
