Events & Chapters
This weekend, Sea Shepherd crews and volunteers will be on beaches across North America for a series of coordinated cleanups. Fourteen locations. One mission. Every year on June 8, the world pauses to recognize World Ocean Day. For Sea Shepherd, it’s a moment to bring our mission closer to the communities, whose support keeps our ships on the frontlines.
Our ships are at sea every day. Our crews intercept poachers, guard the last habitat of the nearly extinct vaquita, and stand against the slaughter of dolphins in the Faroe Islands. Some battles are fought offshore. Others begin on the shoreline.
Plastic does not swim out to sea on its own. It starts on land. It moves through gutters and storm drains and piles up on shorelines before it ever becomes the microplastic choking a seabird 1,000 miles offshore. It is all connected. Shore work is ship work.
