Dear John,
For decades, we’ve deployed to Antarctic waters to defend some of the largest creatures on Earth. Now, our focus has shifted to one of the smallest—krill, the foundation of it all. This species is being wiped away by industrial fishing, putting the entire food chain at risk.
Industrial krill trawlers now operate here relentlessly, transferring their catch to freighters, refueling at sea, and returning to fish without pause.

These small, shrimp-like animals sustain some of the largest and most iconic species on the planet—humpback and fin whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds. As these animals arrive to feed, the trawlers sweep in ahead of them, taking the food right out from under them.
WATCH THE VIDEO<[link removed]>
Sea Shepherd has returned to confront this crisis with nearly half a century of experience exposing lives lost in the wake of human greed. Our ships, our crew, and our camera teams are uniquely equipped to reveal what few have seen—and what the krill industry would prefer remain hidden.

Our work is rooted in science. We brought researchers aboard to monitor whale populations and their access to prey in this region—an essential feeding ground where whales return after breeding to rebuild their strength by feeding on krill.

We are using this evidence to push for stronger protections under CCAMLR, including the urgent establishment of a Marine Protected Area that would finally give these animals a safe zone to feed without competition from industrial trawlers.
This campaign is already shifting the conversation. But without action, the extraction continues. And the food disappears.

Until June 8—World Oceans Day—your gift will be matched.
That means double the reach. Double the pressure. Double the defense.
MATCH NOW<[link removed]>
Massive thanks to everyone who has already contributed to our World Oceans Day Matching Gift Challenge - especially our dedicated Direct Action Crew supporters. Your generosity is fueling this critical campaign and helping us expose the exploitation happening in the Southern Ocean.
If you haven’t yet had a chance to give, there’s still time. Every donation made by World Oceans Day (June 8th, 2025) will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to our $200,000 goal.
That means your support can go twice as far to keep ships on the water, pressure governments and regulatory bodies to act, and build the partnerships needed to secure lasting protection for earth’s fragile ecosystems.
