Antarctica Under Attack! Watch the full film now.

For far too long, the krill fishing fleet of the Southern Ocean has slipped under the radar.
But not anymore. See below for what you can do at home.

We are here to hold them accountable by capturing evidence of their brutal fishing activities.
Look at how much just one of many super trawlers take.

Want to know what you can do?
Many products on the market contain #krill unnecessarily, and we want to uncover the truth behind this practice from our #oceans to shelves.

Help us pinpoint these products.
Take a picture of krill-containing supplements and other krill-based products in your local stores and submit them here: https://seashe.ph/KrillInvestigationForm

You can even DM the photos to us here as well.

***Stay tuned for products to look out for. Many are OMEGA-3 vitamin supplements***

#BREAKING: Shocking Discovery! We caught 6 supertrawlers plowing through whales in Antarctica!

Watch these supertrawlers, each one the size of an Olympic swimming pool, disrupt a massive feeding frenzy of baleen whales while penguins helplessly witness the chaos.

“No law prevents fishing vessels from targeting the very food source of whales in this vulnerable sea area,” warns Captain Bart Schulting.

And it’s not the first time.
In 2023, we documented a similar incident, with eight supertrawlers that influenced CCAMLRS’ decision not to increase this year’s krill quota.

BUT THIS MUST STOP FOR GOOD
Let’s raise awareness and demand a ZERO krill quota NOW!

Our dedicated Allankay crew will continue tracking the fleet’s impact to expose this tragically common occurrence.
Stay tuned for updates coming soon!

On #WhaleDay!

The Seahorse accompanied an amazing network of Mexican local organizations to rescue an entangled humpback whale.

RABEN is Mexico’s whale disentanglement network. They are the real heroes who tackle this incredibly dangerous job.

1.⁠ ⁠The Mexican Navy alerts Sea Shepherd of a sighting in Machorro Point of an entangled whale in fishing gear.
2.⁠ ⁠All local groups involved in disentanglement were alerted by SEMAR, RABEN, Profepa, REMAFE and Conapesca.
3.⁠ ⁠The search with the drone was conducted by Sea Shepherd. RABEN, Profepa and SEMAR arrive.
4.⁠ ⁠The whale is located with the drone and communication planning is conducted.
5. RABEN starts to disentangle the whale and eventually free it.

It takes years of training to do this and the ability to go out on the water at a moment`s notice.
You should never try to free a whale yourself. Alert your local rescue teams.

But there is something you can do to help.

Do you know what to do if you find an entangled whale?
Answer in the comments.

Happy Monday. Here`s a cool shark fact from our shark scientist Heidy.

For scientific data collected from our campaigns, visit Seashepherd.org

These vessels fish NON-STOP.

We are well aware of the catastrophic ecological consequences of overfishing krill in #Antarctica, so it`s crucial that we #StopThePlunder together!

Here’s how you can join the investigation to expose the cruel practices of the krill industry from our #oceans to shelves:

The end of the line. 1K feet/300 meters of net pulled from the sea.
It was a beast.
5 hours in the sun.
Precision driving by the naval captain with no breaks.

The currents made this one very difficult, but we pushed.
The good news: we found 3 live fish, one dead; but no other marine life in the net. The blocks are working. For now.

Our crew spotted a float…a ghost line.
The good news is, this net is inactive and attached to a concrete block.

[INACTIVE: ghost nets found on blocks, so far, do not have dead or live animals in them. The ocean currents act as a wrap, tightening them around the hooks. Inactivity is also detected by sonar].

But...“We’re gonna need a bigger boat.” We still want it removed. Nets, even inactive, do not belong in the ocean. HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY!

🛑GraphicContent WARNING🛑

Our volunteers will soon return to the #FaroeIslands to increase exposure and dialog around this traditional whale hunt.

What traditions did other cultures surrender with globalization?

Part 1 of our latest net pull.
Many people ask about using winches or other devices to pull nets, but what works the best for us is ‘fishing’ for it.
We drop a long line or cable where the net is spotted on radar. It takes many throws to catch it due to heavy currents and wind.
Once the grapple snags it, we can feel the tension on the line and know when to shake it loose.
Hand pulling ensures that we can ‘feel’ the pressure so the net does not snap or break loose, this can cause it to fall back in the water, to kill again.
