Thanks to you, we are now simultaneously working to defend marine lives in the Faeroes, the Galapagos, the Gulf of Mexico, and the infamous Cove in Taiji, Japan. We are also gearing up for this year's Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign to stop the Japanese whalers from illegally killing whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
Your support is needed now more than ever! Please help us maintain our strong defense against the pirates of the sea on behalf of our clients - the marine wildlife we are committed to defending and protecting!

| Yesterday's Demonstration Against the "Rot" in Denmark |
|
 Sea Shepherd and the Brigitte Bardot Fondation held a joint media conference yesterday to demand that the European Union enforce European regulations against Denmark to stop the horrific slaughter of pilot whales known as "The Grind" in the Danish Protectorate of the Faeroe Islands.
The media conference was followed by a large demonstration in front of the Danish Embassy in Paris. Over 200 people attended, as some 40 riot-equipped National Police officers guarded the entrance to the embassy, and effectively shut it down for three hours. Learn about our special memorial...

| Sea Shepherd Calls for the Creation of a Specialized Judiciary On Rights of Nature in Galapagos |
|
Nature has a constitutional right in the Galapagos to be respected, but effective implementation of the Constitution of Ecuador requires a special judicial system.
Sea Shepherd has been fighting for more than 10 years to defend and protect marine wildlife in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador with direct action and assisting law enforcement. Recently, we have been increasing our efforts on the legal front.
On September 20th, led by Hugo Echeverría, Sea Shepherd's legal advisor for the Galapagos, Sea Shepherd joined forces with the World Wildlife Fund and Conservation International to present a legal brief to PROJUSTICIA. This legal brief justifies the need to create a Specialized Judiciary on Rights for Nature in the province of Galapagos, Ecuador. (more)

Ever wonder what the symbolism is behind our iconic Jolly Roger  logo? It stands for the good pirates (Sea Shepherd) who pursue the bad pirates (driftnetters, whalers, sealers, poachers, etc). The logo's intricate design includes a shepherd's staff, which represents the way Sea Shepherd guards and protects our oceans, and Neptune's trident, which signifies our interventionist approach. The skull represents the death that humans inflict on the creatures of the sea. It is further detailed with a dolphin and whale "yin yang" symbol to represent the natural balance of the oceans when free from human interference.
Sea Shepherd is as effective as our logo is unique. Some people do not see eye-to-eye with our tactics or our branding, but the fact is that our unconventional approach is the sole reason hundreds of thousands of marine animals, including almost 2,000 whales, are swimming freely in the ocean today. Thank-you for your support, which enables our mission and helps us to succeed in the battle against the bad pirates.
For the oceans,
Captain Paul Watson
Founder and President
