Who Sea Shepherd Is
They’re badass pirates that protect sharks. Seriously. Sea Shepherd leads aggressive and collaborative campaigns, providing government agencies with the vessels, crew and fuel they need to patrol their waters, enforce laws and make arrests on the spot.
Why They Matter
Shark poaching is a multi-billion dollar industry. An estimated 100 million sharks are illegally killed every year around the world—that’s more than 11,000 an hour. Sea Shepherd is the only organization patrolling, documenting, and taking legal action against shark poaching.
What Sea Shepherd Does
Sea Shepherd’s Operation Mamacocha addresses illegal, unreported, unregulated (IUU) fishing in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor covering nearly two million square kilometers (770,000 square miles) of ocean. Twenty dollars a day keeps their ship, Brigitte Bardot, up and running. The Brigitte Bardot tracks down illegal vessels and confiscates their longlines, which are used to catch sharks and other sea creatures. On one trip alone, two vessels were reported to the regional fisheries commission as well as their own country’s fisheries ministry. Finding these ships and documenting their illegal activity so that they are removed from the ocean saves hundreds of thousands, of sharks.
