Be a Part of the Big Picture
Antarctic penguins are amazing creatures. They have adapted to living in one of the harshest environments on the planet and are great Ambassadors for Antarctica. But because of melting sea ice from climate change and industrial fishing for their favorite food — Antarctic krill — these iconic species are facing unprecedented threats. Penguin colonies are finding it harder and harder to find enough krill to survive.
Antarctic krill are shrimp-like organisms that are the basis of the Antarctic food web, serving as food for whales, penguins, seals and fish. This October, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) – the international body that regulates the Antarctic krill fishery - will make key decisions about how to manage it.
You can be part of the solution! Submit a photo of yourself using the form below to become part of an international photo mosaic of a penguin. This mosaic will be delivered to delegates from 25 nations when they meet to decide on how to manage the krill fishery.
You must crop your photo before you can send it. Crop the image by dragging and dropping the shaded box. You can also resize it by dragging and dropping the squares on the edges of the box. A preview of your selection will show up underneath.
Photos can also be sent to action@krillcount.org along with your name and email to be included in the mosaic.
