🌊 On #WorldOceansDay, the Southern Ocean shows that a healthy ocean and responsible fishing can coexist. Antarctic #krill feeds whales, penguins and seals, and the fishery harvests less than 1%, with an independent observer on every voyage. #SustainableFishing #ARK

5/5 Recovery alongside an active fishery, not in place of it. Catch capped at <1%, an observer on every voyage, decisions only by consensus of all 27 CCAMLR Members. That's the system working.  #CCAMLR #SustainableFishing #ARK

🧵 1/5 Whenever krill makes headlines, the same claim returns: that an industrial fishery is starving whales and pushing catches to reckless levels. The science says otherwise. Here's what the data show. #CCAMLR #SustainableFishing #ARK

4/5 Meanwhile the whales are recovering in the same waters the fleet works. 100+ humpbacks feeding in a single spot (Feb 2026). Fin whales: ~3,400 → 18,000+ (2011–2023). Humpbacks ~80% of pre-whaling numbers. 🐋 #WhaleRecovery #FinWhale

Fin whale counts at South Orkneys: 3440 in 2011, over 18,000 by 2023. Humpbacks at over 93% pre-whaling levels. Both species continue growing on par with #Krill fishing. The data confirm coexistence works. Now we need #CCAMLR's spatial framework to lock it in. #ARK #FinWhales

More than 100 humpback whales feeding in a single spot at the South Orkneys, February 2026. Scientists say the rebound is faster than expected — scenes not recorded since the era of polar exploration. #HumpbackWhale #WhaleRecovery #SouthernOcean

[ARK @ARK_KRILL]

These aggregations are happening in Area 48 — where ARK members also fish. Catch stays below 1% of krill biomass. Independent observers on every voyage. This is what science-based fisheries management looks like. #CCAMLR #SustainableFishing #ARK

[ARK @ARK_KRILL]

Congratulations!! #CCAMLR turns 44 today. For four decades, this international treaty has shown that responsible fishing and conservation can coexist — when grounded in science. #ARK is proud to operate within — and beyond — its framework. 🐧🐋🦐

Industry leaders are stepping up for #Antarctica! A new Ocean Stewardship Initiative aligns marine protection with science-based #krill management and ecosystem monitoring.

New GPS tracking confirms #ARK 40km voluntary VRZ exceed #penguin foraging ranges during breeding.
Adélies travel 20.8 km and Gentoos 28.6 km during breeding. Science validates the safety margin. More: https://t.co/UDvNfqa3h4

Accuracy ensures sustainability. Norwegian scientists calibrated Chinese vessel acoustics near the South Orkneys. This exchange standardizes krill survey data across subareas.
Standardized acoustics = reliable quotas.

Sustainable harvesting requires more than biomass estimates. Industry funding ensures science leads every operational decision.

Science + fisheries = sustainability. Whale monitoring, #krill fishery data & surveys together give #CCAMLR the tools to balance predator needs & fishing. Supporting whale monitoring helps ensure sustainable seas. https://t.co/wABkiMfw76

Two great krill predators, two different strategies. 🐋 #Finwhale prefer deeper, off-shelf waters north of South Orkney, while #HumpbackWhale stick closer to shore on the shelf. https://t.co/wABkiMfw76

[ARK @ARK_KRILL]

#Finwhales are steadily growing in number at South Orkney—an area that also hosts a key #krill fishery. Research shows they’re not food-limited, proving predator health & responsible fisheries can go hand-in-hand. https://t.co/wABkiMfw76

Whales are returning—and krill is key.
Science based catch limits and CCAMLR’s precautionary approach help ensure healthy #Krill stocks for recovering whale populations.

Antarctic #Krill = life at scale.
Billions of tonnes of tiny crustaceans feed whales, penguins, seals – and even humans.
They are Earth’s most abundant wild animal, and carefully managed by #CCAMLR to keep the Southern Ocean thriving.
