Defending Ocean Wildlife Worldwide
Dear Craig,

We are in the business of putting ourselves out of business, and we need your help to make it happen! Unfortunately, the powers of greed and destruction are hard at work breaking laws and regulations which were put on the books to protect marine wildlife. There is still much work to be done!

With your help, we must continue to defend the defenseless. With our unique brand of action and effective methods, we save lives in a way that no other group does.

Sea Shepherd in Barcelona

Come check out the ship and meet her crew before we cast off on an 8,000 nautical mile journey to Australia to prepare for our 2010-2011 Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign: Operation No Compromise! (more)




We are committed to the eradication of pirate whaling, poaching, shark finning, unlawful habitat destruction, and violations of established laws in the world's oceans.

Sea Shepherd fills a much-needed void. No other organization does what we do. And most world governments aim to protect their trade relations by turning a blind-eye to countries that disregard international marine protection law. This illustrates that the oceans need our help! Please show your support today!

For the oceans,
 

Captain Paul Watson
Founder and President
