Chris and Angie discuss the critical role of krill in marine ecosystems. With insights from the documentary 'Ocean' by David Attenborough and an interview with its director, Toby Nowlan, the hosts delve into the profound impact of krill on the food web, climate regulation, and overall ocean health.
They highlight krill's unique physiological traits, such as bioluminescence and the ability to shrink to survive starvation. The discussion also touches on the threats posed by industrial harvesting, climate change, and ocean acidification, and suggests alternatives and conservation strategies to protect these vital creatures.
