Briefings

A coalition of over 30 scientists and advocates, known as the Antarctic Avengers, is urging consumers to boycott krill products to protect marine life. This global boycott follows a growing fishing industry in Antarctica that targets krill for supplements, pet food, and farm-raised salmon production. The initiative aims to reduce pressure on whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds that rely on krill as a primary food source in the Southern Ocean.

Key points

• The Antarctic Avengers coalition consists of more than 30 scientists and ocean advocates who are calling for a consumer boycott of krill products.
• The boycott targets krill products used by major retailers to protect marine life, specifically whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds that feed on krill swarms in the Southern Ocean.

Context and limitations

The evidence indicates a new global boycott initiated by the Antarctic Avengers coalition. Specific dates for the boycott's start or end are not provided, and the scope of the fishing industry's impact on krill populations remains unquantified in the source.
