Chinstrap penguins - named after the thin black line under their chin - come to this area near Coronation Island to nest on the elevated ground. It’s where they raise their chicks, who stay warm and tucked away for about 30 days before waddling off to join a penguin daycare (yes, really), watched over by a few adults from the colony.
But raising chicks takes energy. And for that, they rely on one thing being close by: #krill❗
It’s their main food source - and they need a lot of it.
But now, they’re not the only ones hunting for it.👇
Industrial super trawlers are out here too, hauling up krill by the ton, day and night. Right where the penguins feed..
They can’t fight industrial fishing. But you can!
🔔 Tomorrow, we’re sharing a video update from the frontlines - showing something the krill industry would probably rather keep out of sight.
Watch it. Share it. Help us push for real protection!
