What is this ?
Sea Shepherd is a Non-Governmental Organization founded in 1977 in Canada by a great Captain Paul Watson! It then expanded to Europe in 2013 with a hub in Amsterdam and today has 20 countries working alongside it!
What are their missions ?
Protect and Conserve marine wildlife, from the smallest species to whales! They therefore fight against poaching, unsustainable fishing, poaching, captivity... Yes, unfortunately, even in 2022 there are still far too many people with bad intentions..
What are the militant actions?
First there is an investigation then they inform the authorities and the general public when the laws to protect the oceans are not respected.
Collaboration with Interpol, maritime gendarmes and public prosecutors and certain national navies exists and innovative direct action strategies are put in place! Direct actions on the ground make it possible to obtain concrete and measurable results, such as the fact that more than 6,000 whales from Japanese harpoon boats in Antarctic waters were saved!
