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.

Join ecologist Kim Bernard and her team live from Palmer Station, Antarctica in a live zoom event to honor the first ever World Krill Day to learn how researchers study krill.
Fun Krill facts
- There are 5 Antarctic species.
- They live for 5 to 10 years
- Adults can revert to juveniles
- They can survive up to 200 days without food
- It’s estimated there are 400 million tonnes of Antarctic krill in the Southern Ocean.
- Repackaged krill poo produces 23 million tons of carbon a year
- Scientists believe that the total weight of all Antarctic krill is greater than the cumulative weight of any animal species on Earth except for humans.
- Krill are mostly transparent, although their shells have a bright red tinge from small pigment spots. Their digestive system is usually visible and is often a vivid green from the microscopic plants they have eaten. They have large black eyes.
- Adult Antarctic krill are approximately 6 cm in length and weigh over 1 gm.
- Antarctic krill aggregate in schools or swarms, where the density of the animal can be as high as 30,000 individuals per cubic metre.
- Krill retain the ability to moult for life. They use this ability to continue growing and reducing their body size to help them survive. ‘Downsizing’ enables Antarctic krill to use their own body proteins as a source of fuel.
- At the end of summer, adult krill begin to lose their sexual characteristics. After a series of moults they again resemble two-year-old juveniles, giving no indication that they were ever adults. In spring, adults once more begin to develop sexual characteristics and become mature before the spawning season.
- Antarctic krill are thought to lay a number of broods of eggs, with as many as 8,000 eggs per brood. The season may last as long as 5 months.
- Larvae swims to approximately 800 m to the surface for food –the equivalent to a human swimming 20 miles.
- Krill usually feed on the surface of the water at night and sink deeper in the water column during the day. The primary food of krill is phytoplankton, which are microscopic ocean plants suspended in the upper water column where light is sufficient to allow for growth.

‘If you assume there is no hope, you guarantee there will be no hope, but if you assume there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility you can contribute to making a better world’. Noam Chomsky
‘The moment you definitely commit yourself, is the moment providence happens. All kinds of things occur to help you, which otherwise would not happen. A whole stream of advantageous events flow from your decision. They bring all kinds of chance meetings and material assistance that no one could have foresawn. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic. To make your dream come true – begin.’ Gerta

Favourite Quote by Anthony Hopkins
“None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself as an after thought, eat the delicious food, walk in the sunshine, jump in the ocean, say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like a hidden treasure – be silly, be kind, be weird, there’s no time for anything else.”
Andre Rieu plays Anthony Hopkins musical composition – ‘And the Waltz goes on’

Project Island Song is a charitable organisation restoring the natural eco system and reintroducing wildlife to the Eastern Bay of Islands known as Ipipiri. I talked to Richard Robbins about the nature of the work involved and what it takes to realise their long-term vision of a safe, self-sustaining environment filled with tweets, twitters, trills and whistles of native birdlife.

Tania McInnes talks about the grassroots initiative she’s leading called ‘Arohatia Te Taiao,’ which gives Northland communities the opportunity to share their aspirations, ideas and challenges about their beloved backyard. The collective wisdom will then be collated and form the foundation of a report that’ll be presented to Te Tai Tokerau leaders to use for future strategy and planning in the regions.

Gary Cook provides a fascinating insight into the world of plants and how they enrich our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical wellbeing. He extends Aristotle’s counsel to look deep into nature to find the answers – advising us to ‘listen deeply to nature in order to hear the symphony of sounds that sustain harmony and health for people and the planet. Hear how his curiosity to explore the hidden realms enabled him to discover the intangible secrets of the plant world that revealed the wisdom of the natural world and ways to build a rapport with nature.

On Children – Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
