We are winning the whale wars! Our current Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign, Operation No Compromise, is halfway over and at this rate, more whales will be saved this year than in any year past.
This is an epic endeavor to end whaling once and for all in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, and we are not only winning the battles - we are winning the war. As a Sea Shepherd supporter, you are an integral part of this historic and noble effort, but your continued support is needed now more than ever as we carry out our most perilous and crucial action to date.

| Nisshin Maru - Found - Whaling Fleet Crippled! |
|
We delivered a catastrophic blow to the Japanese whalers this week when we found their mother ship - the infamous Nisshin Maru factory ship!
Now their operations are halted and the whaling fleet belongs to us - lock, stock, and smoking harpoon gun... (more) |
Halfway Through Operation No Compromise
|
|
This year's Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign is turning out to be our most successful year ever in defense of the whales!
The whaling fleet is weaker than ever, and Sea Shepherd is stronger than ever. Already this year, the whaling fleet was three weeks late in arriving to the sanctuary, and it came with only four ships, whereas last year it had seven total. Sea Shepherd returned far stronger this time, with three vessels and a faster, longer-range helicopter. We have had many successes in the campaign thus far - and it's only halfway over!

Cove Guardian Daily Reports
|
|
 Are you aware of what's going on in the Cove in Taiji, Japan? Every year from September through March, hundreds, if not thousands, of dolphins are captured for marine parks and the ones who don't qualify are slaughtered for their meat, which is incredibly high in Mercury and PCBs.
For the first time ever, this six-month mass slaughter is being documented with daily written reports, photos, and video conducted by our Cove Guardians who are on the ground in Taiji. The entire world must know the extent of this legal bloodbath. The more attention we bring to it, the greater the international pressure will be to stop the insanity. Read the reports!
