Triple Your Gift to Save Sea Lions from Deadly Nets

Dear John,

Sea lions in the Sea of Cortez are suffering the deadly consequences of gill nets left by the illegal totoaba trade. These nets, driven by greed, entangle sea lions at Consag Rock—a critical habitat now marred by these lethal traps.

Thanks to the unwavering support of individuals like you, the Seahorse maintains a constant presence in the area, deflecting illegal fishing and protecting endangered species like the vaquita. This 24/7 vigilance has allowed us to turn our attention to another urgent issue: rescuing the sea lions caught in these nets.

To expand these critical rescue operations, we urgently need:

• Sedation Tools: portable anesthesia machine, heart rate monitor, and sedation darts 

• Rescue Gear: hoop and containment nets, work mats, and surgical equipment 

• Safety Gear: shields and gloves to protect our crews from dangerous sea lion bites. 

Through December 31, your gift will go even further. Every $1 you donate unlocks $2 more, turning it into $3 for the oceans during our $750,000 Matching Gift Challenge.

This is your chance to triple your impact and directly support life-saving missions for sea lions and marine life in one of the most dangerous areas in the world.

To those who have already stepped forward to support this and other vital campaigns, thank you. Your generosity powers everything we do to protect vulnerable marine life and habitats. If you’ve already donated, please consider sharing this Matching Gift Challenge with your friends and family. Your voice could inspire others to join our mission and help us meet our goal by December 31.

These animals can’t free themselves—and they can’t wait. Watch the video to see the crew in action and join us in giving sea lions at Consag Rock a fighting chance. Together, we can make an extraordinary difference.

Thank you for standing with us,

The Captains, Crews, and Staff
