ear Ben,
Countdown to Operation Zero Tolerance: The crew is mobilizing and the ships are completing preparations. The Steve Irwin is in Williamstown, VIC. The Sea Shepherd air crew has all systems go for helicopters and drones. The Bob Barker is in Sydney, NSW. The Brigitte Bardot is completing repairs in Hawaii. The Sam Simon is in an undisclosed location and ready for the campaign. This could be the campaign that ends whaling permanently in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary!
We have zero tolerance for whaling and other violent acts against the oceans and their inhabitants. Your help is critical to our ability to carry out our mission. Please support our efforts today, so we can defend, conserve, and protect marine life for future generations to come.

According to the New York Times, the Institute for Cetacean Research (ICR), a front for Japan’s commercial whaling industry, is citing Sea Shepherd’s interventions for its catastrophic financial losses in Antarctica last season. Find out how many millions of dollars we cost them…
CITES — A New Hope?
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) is an agreement between governments that aims to ensure the international trade in wild animals and plants does not threaten their very survival.

Thanks to Sea Shepherd, this reign of corruption may soon be nearing an end. Get the details…
Fear and Hysteria Spawn War on Sharks
in Western Australia
Did you know more people are killed by vending machines each year than by shark attacks? It’s true! Unfortunately, due to mass hysteria over the tragic deaths of five surfers in the last year off the coast of Western Australia, government officials have declared war on sharks and they are killing any sharks unlucky enough to be found along the region’s beaches — including the endangered and supposedly protected Great White shark!
Learn more about this issue and how we can safeguard surfers, swimmers, and divers in a non-lethal way...
