In order to effectively expose the actions of the krill industry and protect the Antarctic ecosystem, we've launched a grassroots-led investigation designed to map the industry and help consumers identify the corporations most invested in the exploitation of krill. Our vessel the Allankay has spent the past three weeks shadowing and monitoring the actions of the krill fishing fleet, but is now calling on help from the public to track the krill from the proposed marine protected areas where they are caught to the places where they are ultimately sold. 

Submit Your Photos of Krill Products

Sea Shepherd has created a tool for volunteers like you to take action and assist us in mapping the industry. Scout your local supermarkets and drugstores in search of krill-based products, then take photos of them and submit them to our central database using our simple, interactive interface. Sea Shepherd will then use this data to assess and identify corporate targets for the next stage of our campaign work.

"Alarmingly, the fishery that targets the foundation species of the Antarctic ecosystem is legal, and so a diverse toolbox of tactics is required to tackle it on multiple fronts. We will fight this fishery at sea by turning our cameras on the supertrawlers and by taking independent media to the scene of the destruction. We will fight it through the intergovernmental bodies pushing to create marine protected areas that can effectively ban the krill fishery. And now—with the help of a global movement of volunteers—we will take the fight to the markets to slam the brakes on the expansion of the krill fishing fleet," said Peter Hammarstedt.
