Antarctic under threat

Marine reserves | Greenpeace International
The marine reserves of the Ross sea, Antarctica is under threat.
This is the story of how our fishermen, having taken so many fish from the seas closer to home, are now venturing to the ends of the Earth in order to maintain our insatiable appetite for seafood. This is also the story of how a group of Antarctic scientists, environmentalists, retailers, and chefs are working together to support the protection of the Antarctic’s unique and beautiful Ross Sea – the healthiest marine ecosystem remaining on Earth.


Its all due to the hunt for antarctic tooth Fish.
The oceans have been a source of meeting our various needs ever since earth came into existence, but man's greed , has pushed him beyond his limits of fishing, mining, explorations, which when crossed pose a dangerous threat to his very own existence in the long run.
