"The Allankay sailed to Coronation Island from New Zealand to document the krill fishing. Sea Shepherd contends that it is the site of one of the most inaccessible and environmentally ruinous industrial workplaces on Earth."
"Krill fishing is legal and regulated by an intergovernmental body, which sets an annual quota of 620,000 tonnes. The trade is valued at more than $450 million a year."
"Massari warns that contact lenses could freeze solid over the eyes in the bitter cold, highlighting the extreme conditions faced by the crew as they prepare to launch the ship's small boat."
The Allankay, a ship from Sea Shepherd, is documenting krill fishing near Coronation Island, a remote area in the South Orkney Islands. Bosun Luca Massari emphasizes safety precautions due to extreme cold. Krill, a crucial food source for marine life, is commercially valuable, generating over $450 million annually. The fishing is regulated with a quota of 620,000 tonnes, but Sea Shepherd argues that this practice is environmentally damaging and takes place in one of the most inaccessible industrial workplaces on Earth.
