Sea Shepherd has been protecting the ocean and marine wildlife for over 40 years. Our ships travel the world to tackle marine conservation issues, crewed mainly by volunteers.
Our volunteers come from over 40 countries, they are everyday people who want to help save the ocean and marine wildlife.

How you can help protect the ocean
Here are four ways you can help to protect the ocean and marine wildlife:
Reduce demand for fish
By reducing the consumption of fish, we can help tackle the impact of overfishing and illegal fishing activity.
Plastics
Reduce the use of single use plastics and help recover trash from the ocean. Over 12 million tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean each year.
Help create solutions
Tackling the issues of overfishing, abandoned fishing gear and single use plastics requires new ways of thinking and behaving. What ideas do you have?
Raise awareness
Help spread the message. The more people know and understand the issues threatening the ocean, the more people can help create a change for the future.
