Huge new no-fishing zones give Antarctic marine predators and their prey a break! Following last month's expansion of the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) marine protected area, the SGSSI government further established new no-fishing zones covering 166,000 sq. km and prohibited krill fishing in an additional 17,000 sq. km!
