The sea ice extent has been unusually close to South Georgia this year. As a result, the teams on South Georgia have faced colder than average sea temperatures and weather, evident in the freezing conditions of King Edward Cove this month.❄️

One small silver lining to my northbound flight being delayed by a full week, getting to see Government House looking lovely in the snow this morning ❄️☃️

Iceberg A23a should have long since shot up past South Georgia into the South Atlantic, fracturing into countless pieces. But it's been caught in a Taylor Column just north of South Orkney since early April.

The South Georgia Patagonian toothfish fishery first received MSC certification in 2004, and recently celebrated its fourth recertification, meaning it has been certified as sustainable for 20 years. 🎣

Congratulations to the fishery on their commitment to sustainability. 🐟

I couldn’t be prouder of my wonderful @GovSGSSI team, and our committed partners and stakeholders. Thank you. Together we are delivering globally significant outcomes.

[Government SGSSI @GovSGSSI]

Today the Commissioner announced an additional 166,000km2 of No-Take Zones within our MPA - that's over 8 times the size of Wales! Sustainable fisheries are already strictly regulated, but now 449,000km2 or 36% of our biodiverse waters are totally closed to all fishing activity
