Sea Shepherd is a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to protecting marine wildlife and habitats. Founded in 1977 by Paul Watson, it focuses on direct action to prevent illegal fishing, whaling, and the destruction of ocean ecosystems. The organization operates ships that confront poachers, conduct marine research, and engage in educational campaigns. Known for its bold tactics, Sea Shepherd aims to raise awareness about the threats faced by marine life and advocates for stronger ocean protection by working with governments and communities worldwide to promote sustainable practices.
