Dear Friend of Sea Shepherd,
There's so much you can do to defend marine wildlife, no matter where you are in the world. Not everyone can join a Sea Shepherd campaign, and many people aren't able to financially support the conservation efforts so close to their hearts. In this edition of the Sea Shepherd E-News, we present many ways that you can make an impact for our mission and the animals at no cost to yourself.
If you are someone who is fortunate enough to be able to help finance our mission, please keep us in your heart. Your contributions are the very lifeblood that keeps our organization on top as the world's leading direct-action conservation non-profit. Each person in this world can do something to contribute to the greater good, whether it is a financial contribution and/or the contribution of your time and energy in person or even online. Have you thought about what you can do to help defend, conserve, and protect the oceans? |
| Save Whales and Help Captain Watson |
The United States White House has created a modern and easy way for the people's voice to be heard. Official petitions can be created on their website, and once a petition receives 100,000 signatures it elicits an official response from the White House.
Sea Shepherd has created two very important petitions, one of which could provide safe haven for Captain Watson and the other asks the United States to take strong action to stop the Japanese from killing whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. We only have until February 28th to reach the required number of signatures.
You don't have to be a US citizen to sign the petitions, but you do need to create a user account on their website. Help us!

| Secret Rooftops Hiding Shameful Atrocities |
Can you guess what those light and dark grey things on the roof of the building pictured below are? Each speck represents a shark's fin! In fact, you are looking at more than 10,000 shark fins drying on a roof in Hong Kong during the month of January! Gary Stokes, Sea Shepherd Hong Kong Coordinator, broke the story, garnering worldwide news coverage.
Sharks need protection now, and they need CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) to do the right thing and base their protection status on scientific facts rather than financial greed. Only when the killing and trade of this apex predator, which is so vital to the health of the oceans, become officially illegal will we see a stop to this atrocity. Learn more! |
| You Can Help Sea Shepherd Win €25,000! |

What we do is not easy. Sea Shepherd works on the cutting edge of activism. We go where others dare not go and take on tasks that no one else has ever done, and we do it all within the boundaries of the law, and without causing harm to any sentient beings.
Yes, we push the envelope and we take chances, and we have been doing so for thirty-five years, but in that time we have achieved some amazing victories, yet there is still so much work to be done. We operate on a relatively small budget with a predominately volunteer crew, and we are able to do so much because of your generosity and compassion. Thank you for standing strong with Sea Shepherd. Your support inspires us to take action each and every day.
For the oceans,
Your Friends at Sea Shepherd Conservation Society |
