(1/7) 🎉 The time has finally come: we're launching our second campaign "Under Our Skin: microplastics in fashion" today at the sustainable fashion conference 202030 Summit 🎉🎉
You were guessing in the last few days which topic we are addressing. It is
Ocean. Now. retweeted
“If we protect krill, we protect the Southern Ocean,” said marine ecologist Matthew Savoca.
Matthew spoke with us for #WorldKrillDay about the pressure krill fishing puts on the region and how the Antarctic food web relies on the pinky-sized crustacean. pewtrsts.org/4g4URTg

(4/7)🌊 In Antarctic waters, fin whales feed mainly on krill, along with small fish and crustaceans. Filtering seawater for hours each day, they can consume up to 1,800 kg of food. This makes healthy Antarctic krill populations essential for their survival.
(6/7) Today, fin whales face growing threats from:
🦐 Industrial krill exploitation
🧊 Climate change and changing Antarctic habitats
🚢 Ship traffic and ocean disturbance
Species like the fin whale need protection! More on this soon…
(2/7)🐋 Fin whales can grow over 25 metres long, reach up to 100 years of age and weigh as much as 120,000 kg. But that’s not all: their long, sleek bodies allow them to travel at speeds of up to 45 km/h. Fin whales usually travel alone or in pairs, migrating with the seasons.

Sie macht deutlich, wie verletzlich das antarktische Nahrungsnetz ist, und welche Rolle es für unseren Planeten spielt.

Have you ever heard of the Antarctic minke whale? 🐋
They’re the second smallest member of the rorqual whale family, which is the largest group of baleen whales (other family members are for e.g., the blue whale or the fin whale).
It’s current biggest threats are:
🧊 Climate change
🐟 Industrial krill fishing
🛢️ Pollution and noise disturbance
🚢 Boat strikes and entanglement in fishing gear
☠️ Whaling (Antarctic minke whales were targeted historically)
Healing begins with us. When we talk about healing, we’re really talking about restoring balance and allowing life to return to its natural rhythm(s).
Healing means protecting. It means listening to the ocean, and to the voice deep within us. Let’s safeguard the foundations of life, not just for today, but for generations to come. That’s what whales do.
