Podcast: Is Krill Fishing in the Antarctic Sustainable?

Krill oil and krill fishing made headlines recently as Greenpeace released their report into fishing practices in the Antarctic.

'License to Krill' investigates how krill fishing has the potential to put, in their words, 'an entire food web' at risk.
