WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The highly contagious H5N1 virus, commonly known as avian or bird flu, has been confirmed in two seabirds—both of them Antarctic skuas—on the Antarctic Peninsula. And on February 23, scientists from the Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Center of the Higher Council for Scientific Research in Madrid confirmed the presence of the deadly virus for the first time on the Antarctic continent.

Key Points: 
  • But H5N1 doesn't only affect birds; it has caused near-complete breeding failure for some colonies of elephant seals.
  • With the virus now confirmed in Antarctica, the only region to not be affected by this latest H5N1 outbreak is Oceania.
  • "World leaders must immediately move to protect this vital place and all the animals that call it home.
  • "Not only can the species found in the Antarctic Peninsula not withstand increasing threats, but the world needs a healthy Southern Ocean ecosystem."

HOBART, Australia, Oct. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy Project today praised delegates from 26 nations and the European Union for marking progress toward harmonizing an updated krill fishery management plan with Southern Ocean protections along the Antarctic Peninsula.

Key Points: 
  • Tethering these two krill conservation efforts allows CCAMLR to fulfill its mandate to prevent irreversible impacts on the Southern Ocean ecosystem from human activities such as fishing.
  • Over the past decade, industrial krill fishing has become increasingly concentrated in areas along the Antarctic Peninsula, affecting predators that feed in those same areas.
  • Without protection for large areas of the Southern Ocean and new fisheries measures, we will all suffer the consequences."
  • The Pew Charitable Trusts addresses the challenges of a changing world by illuminating issues, creating common ground, and advancing ambitious projects including the need for effective marine conservation.
