Norway's Proposal Sparks Tension at Antarctic Conservation Summit
Norway has proposed nearly doubling the catch limit for krill in the Southern Ocean, according to confidential documents. This proposal has heightened diplomatic tensions at the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) meeting.
Krill, a shrimp-like crustacean, is a crucial component of the Antarctic ecosystem. The proposal to increase the krill harvest has raised concerns, particularly in light of other incidents, such as the arrest of a Ukrainian delegate by Russian authorities in Crimea.
The incident is linked to his activities at the CCAMLR, several sources claim.
- The CCAMLR meeting took place from October 20-31.
- Norway's proposal aims to almost double the catch limit for krill.
- Krill (Euphausia superba) is a small, shrimp-like crustacean that lives in schools.
