Dear John,
I’m Julian Escutia, Executive Director of Sea Shepherd, and I want to thank you for the support that carried this work forward through the past year.
Because of you, Sea Shepherd crews and partners were able to maintain a constant presence in some of the most threatened waters on Earth.
In the Vaquita Refuge, that presence helped protect the world’s most endangered marine mammal. In other regions, Sea Shepherd supported efforts to defend sea lions, remove harmful fishing gear, and document illegal activity that would otherwise go unseen. That same commitment extends to campaigns involving octopus fisheries, the Faroe Islands, and Scorpion Reef.
In Antarctica, a region without a permanent human population, industrial fishing takes place far from public view. Sea Shepherd’s presence helps ensure these remote ecosystems are observed, documented, and not left without accountability.
