History

Mission

Saving marine wildlife from humans.

Sea Shepherd operations have included interdiction against commercial fishing, shark poaching and finning, seal hunting, and whaling.


Sea Shepherd works on ocean issues such as plastic pollution.

In March 2014 the International Court of Justice ruled the Japanese whaling program in the Southern Ocean was not, as claimed, for scientific purposes, and ordered Japan to cease operations.
