Scientists have found #microplastic pollution in krill and salps from Antarctica's Southern Ocean 🦐 Krill and salps are just the start of the chain: that plastic transfers up as food to whales, penguins, seals and seabirds. Here's what our team found 👇

As well as being important food sources, krill and salp help transfer #carbon into the deep ocean. The Southern Ocean is a hugely important carbon sink. Consumption of microplastics has the potential to interfere with how much carbon these animals can trap.

Over 90% of shrimp in the US is imported and farmed (gross). Our shrimp are different - no added chemicals, no preservatives, just pure, delicious, Louisiana shrimp. Wild caught and delivered to your door, these ain't your grocery store's shrimp!

There's nothing sustainable about krill fishing. Krill are the foundation of the Antarctic marine ecosystem, relied on by whales, seals, penguins and countless other species. The exploitation of krill for profit has to end.

Industrial #krill supertrawlers are plundering the Antarctic, stealing food from whales, penguins & seals, all for products we don’t need like Swisse Wellness krill oil. 📢 Tue 3 Feb: Join our National day of action — #auspol

3 massive Chinese fishing trawlers are plowing through Southern ocean following whale feeding routes These vessels can haul around 10 tons of krill an hour, taking the food that whales rely on Decades of fighting whaling, only for China to show up and empty whales’ food instead

Researchers in Auckland, New Zealand, have found that penguins are more drawn to interacting with harmful white plastic than plastic of other colors. This latest study, conducted at Auckland’s Kelly Tarlton’s Sealife Aquarium, adds to previous research showing that the majority of plastic found in seabirds’ guts is white in color. Dr. Ariel-Micaiah Heswall, a researcher at the University of Auckland, described white plastic as “a triple threat,” saying that “it’s found more commonly in the ocean, it’s found more commonly in their guts, but now it’s also preferred by the penguins.”

In Antarctica two humpback whales creating a perfect spiral of bubbles. Scientists say that such an exact g spiral is rare even among whales. Using spirals, whales herd krill to then rise to the surface and gulp down their prey.

Chinese fishing vessel in Antarctic scooping up krill, right next to whales and penguins These ships track where the animals go to feed & take their food. The ship is Shi Dao, the same fishing vessel that was caught dumping oil into Fijian waters at a shipyard a few years ago.

The effects are becoming painfully clear: #Humpback whale pregnancies dropping, chinstrap penguin populations plummeting by 53% in four decades, and fur seals losing nearly 10% of their body mass due to krill scarcity. It's a stark wake-up call!. #StopThePlunder. 🚫🦐

Microplastic has been found in the air, water, and food. Studies show that these particles may contribute to weight gain despite not containing any calories. How exactly does plastic affect metabolism and what still needs to be determined by researchers? Learn more in the video

Thank you Winston Sterzel for covering this. It’s alarming that Chinese poachers are now using unmanned vessels to track the density of krill populations and harvest them non-stop. This is systematic decimation At this rate, they'll wipe out krill & whales will disappear right after

A marine biologist visiting the Philippines encountered a "resourceful" hermit crab that found a plastic scoop to use as its shell. "Shell homes are few and far between," according to the marine biologist, as a result of less biodiversity and more plastic pollution.

Plastic pollution: It's not just harming the planet anymore. Microplastics are in our food, water, and air, and we're ingesting them. What are the health impacts? Dr. Jayne Morgan with Piedmont joined us to explain. #EarthDay2024

While the destructive environmental impact of plastic is well known, it poses serious health challenges as well. In the last few weeks alone, there have been a couple of studies that have shown the health impact of microplastics. One study found microplastics in the human placenta. Another study found that micro and nanoplastics in key arteries, leading to an increased risk of heart attack. One of the interesting startups we have partnered with through Rainmatter by Zerodha is Zerocircle. They have developed and are scaling alternatives to bio-plastic. Here's Neha the founder, talking to Hansi explaining what inspired her and how seaweed can potentially help us with our plastic problem.

Incredible biodiversity in my latest fine-net, autumn plankton sample. Tragically, however, there is now always microplastic pollution among the creatures that bring life to the sea and begin the marine food chain. ZEISS Microscopy

At The Ocean Cleanup, science has always been central to understanding the scale, sources, and behavior of ocean plastic pollution. This week, we have released our 100th peer-reviewed scientific publication. Learn more about this milestone from our Head of Research, Laurent Lebreton:

As negotiators gather to reach an agreement on a landmark treaty to end plastic pollution, they must ensure it is ambitious, credible and just. We have a historic opportunity to start building a world free of plastic pollution and waste – a vital step for safeguarding our planet.

Australian scientists warn that the Southern Ocean’s deep “overturning” circulation is slowing and headed for collapse - and that's a big deal for our food chain. And, yes, it's linked to #ClimateChange, says Prof. Matt England UNSW

CAPTAIN PAUL WATSON TO RETURN THIS YEAR TO THE SOUTHERN OCEAN TO STOP THE RETURN OF THE JAPANESE WHALING FLEET Japan has declared war on the whales of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The have completed the construction of the 9, 300 ton, 112 meters long factory ship Kangei Maru. There is only one purpose for such a huge fast long range whaling processing ship and that is to hunt and kill whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Neptune’s Pirates have secured a fast long range ship that can allow us to aggressively intervene. Captain Watson will lead the campaign with a courageous crew of veteran Southern Ocean anti-whaling activists. “The Japanese whalers are planning to target endangered Fin whales. We intend to stop them,” says Captain Watson. In an absurd statement Kyodo Senpaku President Hideki Tokoro told a press conference in the western port city of Shimonoseki. “It’s important to protect marine resources, and we are the ones responsible for that, I believe that continuing (whaling) will benefit both Japan and the world.” Protecting whales by killing whales is illogical. It is also illegal. There is a global moratorium on commercial whaling, Fin whales are endangered, and it is unlawful to kill whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. It’s been ten years since Captain Watson confronted the Japanese whalers in the waters of Antarctica. He and his crew are ready for the challenge. Your support is crucial for this mission.

Now thats a cleanup! In this bay we removed a total of 166 kg of ocean plastic. And that’s all washed up since November when we last cleaned here. A clear sign of just how much ocean plastic pollution we have on the west coast of Sweden.
