I'm a little late in sharing this, but we recently published the findings from our first winter field season in Antarctica!! Carnivory is really important in juvenile krill🦐🇦🇶 Winter condition, physiology, and growth potential of juvenile Antarctic krill

Just so devastating that as a planet we cannot (will not?) do the right thing. These Antarctic MPAs are desperately needed. #CCAMLR is failing Antarctica.

Once again #CCAMLR members failed to agree on establishing the 3 #MPAs in the East #Antarctic, Weddell Sea and Antarctic Peninsula and protect the critical habitats and marine life found there. Science has shown that protecting #MPAs help builds resilience to #ClimateChange.
