Dear Friend of Sea Shepherd,
Countdown to Operation Zero
Tolerance: The crew is mobilizing and the ships are completing
preparations. The Steve Irwin is in Williamstown, VIC. The Sea Shepherd air crew has all systems go for helicopters and drones. The Bob Barker is in Sydney, NSW. The Brigitte Bardot is completing repairs in Hawaii. The Sam Simon
is in an undisclosed location and ready for the campaign. This could be
the campaign that ends whaling permanently in the Southern Ocean Whale
Sanctuary!
We have zero tolerance for whaling
and other violent acts against the oceans and their inhabitants. Your
help is critical to our ability to carry out our mission. Please support our efforts today, so we can defend, conserve, and protect marine life for future generations to come.

Sinking the Japanese Whalers — Economically
|
Time
and time again, we have said our goal is to sink the Japanese whaling
fleet economically, believing that if we attack their bottom line, the
war on whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary will eventually end.
Now, the word is out — straight from the Japanese whalers themselves!
According to the New York Times,
the Institute for Cetacean Research (ICR), a front for Japan’s
commercial whaling industry, is citing Sea Shepherd’s interventions for
its catastrophic financial losses in Antarctica last season. Find out how many millions of dollars we cost them…

CITES — A New Hope?
|
The
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) is an
agreement between governments that aims to ensure the international
trade in wild animals and plants does not threaten their very survival.
But over the years, special interests have used their powerful
associations with CITES to skew issues and lobby against protection for
sharks, bluefin tuna and other species at risk of being exploited for
financial gain.
Thanks to Sea Shepherd, this reign of corruption may soon be nearing an end. Get the details…

Fear and Hysteria Spawn War on Sharks
in Western Australia
|
Did
you know more people are killed by vending machines each year than by
shark attacks? It’s true! Unfortunately, due to mass hysteria over the
tragic deaths of five surfers in the last year off the coast of Western
Australia, government officials have declared war on sharks and they are
killing any sharks unlucky enough to be found along the region’s
beaches — including the endangered and supposedly protected Great White
shark!
Learn more about this issue and how we can safeguard surfers, swimmers, and divers in a non-lethal way...

The Ladies Will Love This!
|
Our female supporters can show
their love for our cause in this new women's cut Jolly Roger T-shirt!
The new fitted T-shirt proudly displays our popular Jolly Roger logo,
which was created by artist Geert-Jan Vons and co-designed by Captain
Paul Watson.
Ever
wonder what the Jolly Roger logo symbolizes? 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. Purchase the Women's Sea Shepherd Jolly Roger T-shirt today!
All proceeds from Sea Shepherd e-Stores support our
efforts to defend ocean wildlife worldwide!

There is no greater legacy that
can be imagined, no cause more noble, no campaign more important than
the protection and conservation of the diversity of life in our oceans. I
am part of that legacy and so are you. We all are, if we so choose to
be.
No matter the challenges we face or
the setbacks we endure, one thing is certain - we will not rest until
whaling ends. No compromise. No tolerance. No doubt. Please support our actions to defend and conserve ocean wildlife worldwide. Thank-you!
For the oceans,
Captain Paul Watson
Founder and President
