Updates from the Front Lines
For over four decades, Sea Shepherd has fought to protect every living being in our oceans, from the smallest fish to the largest mammal. While we have made great strides defending our oceans, there is still so much more work to be done.
For The Eastern Tropical Pacific: Operation Treasured Islands
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, the world's most passionate and powerful protector of ocean life, announced today that it is launching Operation Treasured Islands late this fall. The announcement was made by Sea Shepherd's Founder, Captain Paul Watson, aboard the M/V Brigitte Bardot. The campaign will focus on Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in the Tropical Eastern Pacific, a two million square kilometer area extending along the Pacific coast of the Americas from Mexico to Peru. Watch the announcement here, and please visit seashepherd.org/treasured-islands for more details.
For The Wild Salmon: Operation Virus Hunter
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has been in British Columbia, Canada for four years in an effort to protect the wild salmon population and all other species and communities that depend on healthy wild salmon populations for survival. Learn more about how Canadian fish farms are affecting wild salmon, southern resident orcas, and First Nation communities by following The RV Martin Sheen.
For The Bahamas: Operation Good Pirates of the Caribbean
Sea Shepherd's Hurricane Dorian relief campaign has delivered over 60,000 pounds of critical aid to the regions of the Bahamas hit hardest by the storm. The crew of The M/V John Paul DeJoria have been on the ground, providing water, food, shelter, water filtration units, pet supplies and other aid to hurricane survivors. Donate to Hurricane Dorian relief efforts now.
For The Vaquita Porpoise: Operation Milagro
The M/V Sharpie is in the Sea of Cortez with the most experienced vaquita scientists and observers. Led by Mexico’s CONANP (Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas), the pursuit to document the most endangered marine mammal in the planet continues. Check out our most recent webisode here.
