Usually, that meant working in education, producing documentaries, or writing books. But over the past decade, we have come to realize that unless society builds financial systems that incentivize positive social and environmental outcomes and the corresponding economic opportunities for people, we will never solve the mounting environmental crisis facing our planet.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that in mind, we have expanded our work into entrepreneurship by founding a company called\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seavoir.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>SeaVoir Wellness<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that is designed to actively restore the ocean and help solve the biggest climate catastrophe that no one knows about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But we\u2019re getting ahead of ourselves, so let\u2019s start at the beginning. Two years ago, on an unseasonably warm day in Antarctica we jumped into our zodiacs to head out and conduct water quality testing near a glacier. It was the first day of our expedition and though we were warned about the changes we would encounter but we were shocked to see the impacts of climate change all around us. Not only the obvious changes, like retreating glaciers, but also the less obvious ones, like reduced salinity and warm water temperatures. Changes that are wreaking havoc on the Antarctic ecosystem.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our trip was part of a multi-year campaign to establish three new marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Southern Ocean. As members of Antarctica 2020, a global group that is tasked with advocating for these MPA\u2019s we were excited to witness the beauty of the white continent with our own eyes and gather media to support the campaign. Covering a total of 7 million square kilometers in the Weddell Sea, the East Antarctic and the Antarctic Peninsula, these three MPAs are some of the richest and most important ocean areas in the world and would result in the single largest act of conservation in human history.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Specifically, these three areas would focus on protecting key habitats for krill. And while most people have no idea what krill are, from their impact on global climate systems to ocean biodiversity, it is no understatement to say that krill are the superheroes of the ocean.<\/b><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38939\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Weddel-Sea-penguins-on-a-large-iceberg-by-Philippe-Cousteau-Jr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38939\" src=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Weddel-Sea-penguins-on-a-large-iceberg-by-Philippe-Cousteau-Jr.jpg\" alt=\"Weddel Sea - penguins on a large iceberg by Philippe Cousteau Jr\" width=\"750\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Weddel-Sea-penguins-on-a-large-iceberg-by-Philippe-Cousteau-Jr.jpg 750w, https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Weddel-Sea-penguins-on-a-large-iceberg-by-Philippe-Cousteau-Jr-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Weddel Sea, penguins on a large iceberg courtesy of Philippe Cousteau Jr.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To put into context just how important they are, we must go back in time a few centuries. Most people believe that humanity&#8217;s large-scale disruption of the global carbon cycle started with our utilization of coal and then oil and gas as drivers of economic growth. That is not true. Our disruption of the global carbon cycle happened nearly 200 years earlier, during the late 17<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0century, when whaling really started to become a major industry in North America. The primary use of whales was for their oil to power lights, though baleen was also prized for being used to make corsets and hoop skirts. For hundreds of years, North American and, to a lesser extent, European and Scandinavian whalers crisscrossed the ocean killing millions of whales. But what does this have to do with the carbon cycle? Whales are an enormous carbon sink; in other words, they absorb and store carbon in their bodies. It is estimated that one whale stores carbon equivalent to 1500 trees in its tissue over its lifetime. When they die, they sink carrying that carbon with them to be sequestered in the deep ocean for millennia. But whales also have an even more important climate role, they are critical to an ecological system that is arguably the single largest carbon sink on Earth, a system that centers around a creature that measures less than two inches in length \u2013 krill.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krill are tiny crustaceans that live throughout the ocean, but which are most abundant in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. They are the central characters in the world&#8217;s largest carbon cycle, and it all comes down to poop. You see, krill eat phytoplankton, tiny plant-like creatures that live at the surface of the open ocean. Phytoplankton create energy through photosynthesis, and part of that process is (like trees) absorbing carbon out of the atmosphere and emitting oxygen back into it. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side note: phytoplankton are responsible for generating 50 percent of the oxygen on Earth through photosynthesis, which means they absorb carbon and emit oxygen (much more than the rainforest).<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phytoplankton hold that carbon in their tissue until they are eaten by their main predator, krill. When krill eat phytoplankton, their poop carries that carbon with it as it sinks to the ocean floor. Simple as that\u2026krill inadvertently sequester 13 billion tons of carbon a year in the deep ocean by doing something as natural and fundamental as pooping.<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, krill are a key food source for whales, which then sequester the carbon they consume in their bodies for up to 100 years until they die. But it doesn&#8217;t stop there; whale poop (who would have thought it all came down to poop?) is rich in iron. That iron, in turn, is a critical compound needed by the phytoplankton to grow, and the process keeps going on and on.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when whalers killed millions of whales, scientists initially assumed krill populations would explode. As our understanding of the systems became more sophisticated and our use of ice, coral, and sediment cores became more widespread, scientists discovered that the decline in whale populations also corresponded with a crash in krill and phytoplankton populations. Deprived of iron-rich feces to nurture them, phytoplankton populations crashed, reducing their function as carbon sequestering machines (remember, they sequester billions of tons of carbon a year). Then, without enough phytoplankton, krill populations crashed, which in turn hurt not just whale populations but all the other creatures like penguins, seals, and countless fish populations as well. Almost everything in the Southern Ocean either eats krill or eats something that eats krill. So, in addition to disrupting the global carbon cycle centuries before most people think, humanity started destroying the ocean food web on a large scale a lot sooner too.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38941\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38941\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ardley-Island-Chinstrap-and-Gentoo-walking-by-Philippe-Cousteau-Jr.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38941\" src=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ardley-Island-Chinstrap-and-Gentoo-walking-by-Philippe-Cousteau-Jr.png\" alt=\"Ardley Island, Chinstrap and Gentoo walking by Philippe Cousteau Jr\" width=\"750\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ardley-Island-Chinstrap-and-Gentoo-walking-by-Philippe-Cousteau-Jr.png 750w, https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ardley-Island-Chinstrap-and-Gentoo-walking-by-Philippe-Cousteau-Jr-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38941\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Ardley Island, Chinstrap and Gentoo walking courtesy of Philippe Cousteau Jr.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where the three MPA\u2019s come in. They are being proposed in areas which are critically important habitats for not only krill but many other species, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from ad\u00e9lie and chinstrap penguins that get almost all of their calories from krill; to crabeater seals, fur seals, gentoo penguins, and whales, like humpback and fin whales whose populations are recovering after centuries of exploitation. Large, protected areas that lack the stressors that come from industrial fishing are more resilient to the effects of climate change, which is critical in the face of rapid environmental changes in Antarctica.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, establishing three areas to protect a species central to the functioning of the world\u2019s largest single carbon sink, the biodiversity of the ocean and oxygen production would seem like a no-brainer. However, progress towards establishing those protected areas has been stymied precisely BECAUSE of the presence of krill. Far from protecting them, over the last few decades a new threat has emerged: the krill fishery. Of the 26 countries that make up the governing body of Antarctica\u2019s waters CAMLRR, 24 countries support the establishment of the MPA\u2019s. Only Russia and China are blocking them, and they are doing it for the krill fishery. But why fish for krill? It doesn&#8217;t make sense. Why would humans target a creature that is so pivotal to the world&#8217;s single largest carbon sink (the equivalent of taking 23 internal combustion cars off the road each year), is critical to the generation of over 50 percent of the earth&#8217;s oxygen, and provides the basis for one of the ocean&#8217;s most important food webs?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we asked that question, the answer shocked us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70 percent of the market value of the krill fishery is for the Omega-3 supplement market in North America (with the leftover going to pet food and aquaculture feed).\u00a0Another source of Omega-3\u2019s \u2013 fish oil \u2013 is also terribly destructive to the ocean.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SeaVoir-Wellness-Pridcut.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-38943\" src=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SeaVoir-Wellness-Pridcut.png\" alt=\"SeaVoir Wellness--Pridcut\" width=\"401\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SeaVoir-Wellness-Pridcut.png 693w, https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SeaVoir-Wellness-Pridcut-300x217.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We realized that this was a classic case of the market incentivizing bad behavior. Thanks to the inertia of fish oil becoming shorthand for Omega-3s over decades, aggressive greenwashing by fish and krill oil companies, and a lack of efforts to raise consumer awareness about the issue, the fish and krill industry has become a multi-billion dollar market. And the kicker is that\u00a0<\/span><b>fish and krill don&#8217;t even make their own Omega-3s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; they get them by eating algae! Over the past few years, technology to extract Omega-3\u2019s from algae has matured and is at price parity with krill and fish oil. The problem is that consumers don\u2019t know. What is even more interesting is that algae oil is a superior Omega-3. It&#8217;s more bioavailable to our bodies than fish or krill, it is free of the common toxins found in the ocean (heavy metals, PCBs, microplastics, and more), it is farmed on land creating clean, local jobs, and it won&#8217;t give you the dreaded fish burps!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Governments around the world are investing billions to advance technologies to sequester carbon that up until now have returned very little success.
