Dear Friend of Sea Shepherd,
Seals continue to need our help! One of Sea Shepherd's first major campaigns, back in 1979, was to defend the seals in Canada and thirty-two years later we are still defending seals - currently in Namibia.
And we work hard to turn your support into real results! In addition to our recent progress in Namibia, we have now begun our second year with the Cove Guardians in Taiji, Japan (The Cove), with a the goal of saving even more dolphins than we did last season. We are also making preparations to return to the Southern Ocean to be ready if the whalers decide to return. If they do not, we will focus on defending sharks in the South Pacific, but if the harpoon boats do return we will be there to meet and stop them. All of this is made possible by your support. Thank-you for all you do.

| Sea Shepherd Meets the Voice of Namibia |
Our crew returned to Windhoek, Namibia last week to meet with the country's ombudsman and demand an immediate end to the illegal slaughter of seals. After a closed-door meeting with Sea Shepherd, peer NGOs, advocates for the seal hunt, and Namibia's ombudsman, potential progress was made for the seals. (more)

| An End to the Namibian Seal Slaughter? |
A lot has happened since July, when we sent a covert team into Namibia. With celebrities publicly speaking out against the cruel seal slaughter and many many more NGOs focusing on the issue - the media and international pressure on Namibia is truly growing.
Learn more about the seal slaughter, including information on economics, science, and the options available to Namibia.

Relax in Style

The Chaser LA Sea Shepherd Fleece Raglan is our favorite laid-back sweatshirt. Featuring long sleeves and a relaxed crew next that can be worn off the shoulder, each garment is as unique as the next, and they are individually handled for the burnout process.
Remember, purchases made in any of our global e-Stores help fund our marine conservation campaigns. |
