The World's Last Pristine Ocean

It's February 2012.  While in Antarctica, I learn that the Ross Sea is the most pristine ocean on our planet.  I can't imagine how beautiful it was when my father was there in the early 1940's.  Unfortunately, corporations/humans don't seem to stop at the idea of keeping something pristine.

The Antarctic Toothfish is sought after and it lives in the Ross Sea. The name is disguised as Chilean Sea Bass.  Yes,  when we eat this fish, we risk over fishing and polluting an important ocean ecosystem in Antarctica.  Krill oil is popular now.  Whales and other sea life depend on an abundance of krill in the ocean.  Here's a report on the facts.  Please avoid using krill oil for a supplement and eating Chilean Sea Bass!
