Dr Marco Lambertini, WWF International Director General
From 2007 until 2017, WWF had a strategic partnership with Aker BioMarine (Norway), a major fishing company that has significant interests in krill harvesting. In January 2018 this partnership was formally cancelled.
Krill, the keystone species in the Antarctic foodweb, are under threat.
Since 2009 WWF Norway have been in partnership with Aker Biomarine, a Norwegian company that runs the largest krill fishery in the Antarctic. Aker Biomarine pays $178,000 annually for the privilege of putting the WWF logo on its products. In October 2012 WWF Australia signed a new partnership deal, this time with Australian fish and krill oil producer Blackmores. WWF have not yet disclosed how much this new partnership is worth.
WWF's primary concern is wildlife conservation and they should not be seen to be supporting an industry that deprives Antarctic species of an essential food source.
