Sea Shepherd Global

The clock is ticking on #Antarctica’s ecosystems. The krill fleet and countries blocking protection are standing in the way— but we’re not backing down. This fight is about more than whales. It’s about the future of our planet. 🌍💥 Find out how we’re going back to stop them: https://seashe.ph/6r57cx

The ocean has lost one of their own. Today, we honor Adam Shostak.  Adam dedicated his life to protecting marine wildlife and creating a strong community around Sea Shepherd’s mission in Byron Shire, Australia. His courage and passion continue to inspire us all, and he will forever be a part of the Sea Shepherd family. 🌊💙 'For the whales who frequent the shores of New South Wales, Adam was their ambassador.' - Captain Peter Hammarstedt. We invite you to read this heartfelt tribute and honor Adam's memory. Please share your tributes in the comments below.

We’ve saved 6,000 #whales over 11 campaigns in 15 years—but that’s all at risk now ⚠️  The #krill fleet is pushing #Antarctic ecosystems to the brink, and without action, everything we’ve fought for could be undone. We're heading back to hold them accountable—and we’re doing it when they least expect it. The stakes have never been higher. Stay tuned❗

Check out what 5.2 tonnes of recovered fishing gear looks like! This summer, the #SeaEagle crew helped recover over 5 tonnes of discarded and illegal fishing equipment. Thanks to our direct-action approach and an incredibly dedicated crew, this 32-meter former pilot vessel is making the #Mediterranean a safer home for all the incredible marine life that calls it home! 🪸🐠 As the most overfished sea in the world, our campaigns to monitor and intervene against illegal fishing in Italian waters are vital to preventing local species from facing extinction. You can help us continue this vital work by donating or even joining our crew. 🦭💙 What’s one thing you’d love to know about our work in the #Mediterranean or life aboard the Sea Eagle? 🤔 📷 Chris Roman, Sidney Haugen / Sea Shepherd

The #MedSea has been overfished, overworked, and overlooked. For the past 3 years, we’ve spent every summer tackling its biggest challenges—non-stop, all in.✊ This year, our crew raised the bar. The results? Game-changing. 💥🌊 Full video coming soon—trust us, you won’t want to miss this.

🥁 Over 6,500 illegal octopus traps and 52,000 meters of rope were removed from #Greece’s Thracian Sea! Our vessels M/V Emanuel Bronner and M/V Conrad, working with local authorities, rescued over 571 octopuses and tackled #plasticpollution to protect this vital ecosystem. The Thracian Sea is one of the most fertile marine ecosystems in the #Mediterranean, home to endangered species and essential to the health of our #oceans. A huge thank you to Dr. Bronner's and Allianz for their ongoing support in making this possible.🙏 ➡️ Find out more about this mission and how we’re protecting Greece’s waters here: https://lnkd.in/guyDK8vH

📣 #BREAKINGNEWS - We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership to protect one of the world’s most biodiverse marine areas! #Bougainville, an autonomous region in #PapuaNewGuinea whose people recently voted overwhelmingly for independence, lies in the Coral Triangle—a global center of marine biodiversity for species like #mantarays and #seaturtles. “When Bougainville achieves independence, the country’s maritime domain will be larger than its land area, making at-sea patrols like those made possible by Allankay essential for deterring illegal activity in the world’s newest country.” – Peter Hammarstedt, Sea Shepherd Global’s Director of Campaigns 📌 Read the full media release here: https://lnkd.in/dEY-vrig

"When it was reported that three whales had been killed in krill supertrawler nets in 2021, we were told that this was an 'anomaly' and that the industry would take steps to prevent it from happening again. Now another four whales are dead, a direct consequence of dragging nets large enough to swallow a jumbo jet through foraging pods of whales while targeting their primary food source. Clearly nothing has changed." - Peter Hammarstedt, Sea Shepherd Global Director of Campaigns 👉 Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/ge8GrcDN 👉 Take action here: https://lnkd.in/edknsuTa

Did you know your plate can protect the ocean❓Cooking is a powerful form of activism, just ask our cook, Tuti! ⚠️ Here’s why it matters: Animal agriculture creates massive ocean dead zones, strips seas of wild fish to feed farm animals, and drives up ocean acidity. In short, it’s killing our oceans. That’s why we’re 100% vegan on board—keeping our crew strong and our oceans healthier. This #WorldVeganDay, try a plant-based meal and see how delicious protecting the ocean can be! Already eating vegan?
