Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing operators are a threat to the beautiful seabirds of Antarctica, ignoring existing regulations and conservation measures that aim to prevent these magnificent animals from being killed as bycatch. Heres a collection of images of the birds of the Southern Ocean that we have encountered The MV Bob Barker and the The MV Sam Simon during Operation Icefish. May they be one more reminder of the importance of eliminating poaching from this last, great, Wilderness. #SeaShepherd #OperationIcefish #Antarctica #Wilderness
