The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a group of activists that intervenes to prevent illegal whaling. While Greenpeace have long gone home from following the whalers the Sea Shepherd is still out there fighting the pirate Japanese whaling operation and enforcing international conservation law.
Sea Shepherd are to radical for Greenpeace who take pictures of whales dyeing whereas Sea Shepherd will take action to disable whaling ships. Greenpeace go as far as not providing Sea Shepherd with the whalers co-ordinates, Sea Shepherd on the other hand freely share co-ordinates with Greenpeace.
Sea Shepherd currently has the illegal whalers on the run so they can’t engage in whaling activities and has this season generated mainstream media coverage when two of their crew members boarded the Japanese whaling ship and were subsequently held prisoner before being released.
Meanwhile the unpaid Sea Shepherd UK co-ordinator is working non-stop promoting the launch of the new film Sharkwater that includes footage from a Sea Shepherd campaign against shark poachers. The film is only out at a small number of Cinemas but if you can get to one please do! Learn more about this must see at the Official Sharkwater Website
