The study shows that a single species, Antarctic krill, store similar amounts of carbon to key "blue carbon" habitats such as mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrasses.

Many penguins live south of the equator, with most living on the Antarctic coasts and sub-Antarctic islands. But other species enjoy a warmer climate. Hotspots ranked Start the day smarter ☀️ ...

Rising temperatures are putting the future of Antarctic krill at risk. Numbering in the trillions and collectively weighing hundreds of millions of tonnes, Antarctic krill are among the most numerous ...
