I’m thrilled to bring you this special edition to celebrate the inaugural World Krill day with my guest Dr Rodolfo Werner, marine biologist, wildlife conservationist, science and policy advisor who has dedicated decades of his life to working as a consultant alongside organisations like the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition, The PEW Charitable Trust and the Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund to protect and preserve the precious continent of Antarctica.
He provides a fascinating insight into why krill deserve to have a day dedicated to the crucial work these crustaceans do to sustain the health of our ocean.
