Krill

 Antarctic krill is a keystone species and a primary food source for many marine animals in the Southern Ocean.

 

Tourists can help protect krill populations indirectly by reducing their carbon footprint and supporting initiatives that aim to combat climate change, as warming waters threaten krill populations.
