The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is an environmental organization dedicated to protecting marine life and promoting sustainable ocean ecosystems. They use direct action tactics, such as patrolling and intervening in illegal fishing and whaling activities, to enforce conservation laws. Founded in 1977, Sea Shepherd aims to defend whales, dolphins, seals, and other marine species from threats like commercial exploitation and environmental damage. They operate globally, often working covertly or actively confronting illegal activities at sea, with a strong focus on protecting ocean biodiversity through advocacy, education, and direct intervention.
