Russia and China have again halted plans backed by the European Union, the US, and 23 other countries to protect three vast stretches of the sea around Antarctica from fishing. Let us inform you that the situation here is getting worse due to the industrial fishing activity in this sea. The sea conditions are getting worse due to accidents at these places.
Positive things came out of the international meeting
However, conservationists have said some positives emerged from a two-week international meeting on the future of Antarctica's pristine waters, which concluded late Friday in Australia. These included an agreement on new protection for krill fishing and a commitment to meet in Chile next year to discuss a proposal for new marine protected areas, which would jointly cover an ocean larger than India.
Many countries angry with the move of Russia and China
Many nations are angered by Russia and China for effectively vetoing the proposals. This is because the group's rules require a consensus to be reached before any action can be taken. The US said that their moves were weakening the group.
Penguin numbers are decreasing
According to a report, many times the fish present in the sea are being harmed due to oil spills and accidents from boats going for krill fishing. This is posing a serious threat to the ecosystem of the Antarctic Sea. It has also been said in the report that if this continues, the population of penguins can decrease by up to a third.
