For nearly fifty years, a global community of supporters has kept our ships on the water and marine life protected. Because people like you stand with Sea Shepherd, the mission does not stop. Our crews continue to confront illegal fishing, rescue trapped wildlife, and defend marine sanctuaries around the world.
Beyond a traditional credit card or check donation, there are powerful ways to support this work and help keep our fleet on the front lines.

Each of these giving routes fuels real work at sea:
- Pulling deadly nets out of the Vaquita Porpoise Refuge
- Patrolling the krill grounds of Antarctica
- Removing thousands of octopus traps from the ocean
- Supporting crews that intercept illegal fishing and rescue trapped wildlife
Sea Shepherd is purely donor supported and does not receive government funding. This movement exists because people choose to stand with our crews and keep them on the front lines where they are needed most.
“With so many campaigns planned for 2026, we need all hands on deck to keep our ships at sea and protect life beneath the waves.”
If you have already contributed to this year’s Million Dollar Match, thank you. You can still make a big impact by sharing these giving options with people in your life who care about the ocean.
