El kril antártico es la base de toda la vida marina en el océano Austral y la pesquería de este crustáceo es una creciente amenaza para su conservación. Su futuro se está decidiendo ahora en Australia. Conoce más shorturl.at/foLGK

Por 1ra vez la pesquería de kril antártico cerró antes de tiempo en 2025 debido a la acelerada extracción intensiva en la Península Antártica. Es
momento de actuar. En Octubre #CCAMLR debe distribuir la pesca para evitar sobreexplotación y crear un Área Marina Protegida en la Península.

🐧🦭🐋 ¿Qué tienen en común un pingüino, una foca y una ballena?
Su vida depende del kril antártico. 🦐 Pero la pesca de kril está alcanzando niveles récord, poniendo en riesgo todo este ecosistema. Este octubre los líderes de la CCAMLR pueden proteger la Península Antártica.
