What will the oceans look like for generations to come?
For nearly 50 years, Sea Shepherd has fought to protect marine wildlife and defend the ecosystems we all depend upon.
Since 1977, our crews and volunteers have seen wildlife pushed toward extinction, fragile ecosystems exploited, and illegal fishing devastate the ocean. We have also seen what happens when people refuse to stand by. Nets are removed. Animals are rescued. Habitats are protected.
None of it happens without people who believe the oceans are worth fighting for.

Make-A-Will Month
Make protecting the oceans part of your legacy
August is Make-A-Will Month, an opportunity to think about how the things we care about today can be protected long into the future.
Creating a will helps ensure the people you love are cared for and your wishes are honored. Through our partnership with FreeWill, you can create or update your will at no cost.
If defending the oceans has become part of your life's story, you can also make it part of your legacy by including Sea Shepherd in your will.
Shepherds Forever Society
Become a Shepherd Forever
A gift in your will can help future Sea Shepherd crews continue defending marine wildlife and threatened habitats.
Our Shepherds Forever Society honors those who choose to carry Sea Shepherd's mission into the future through a planned gift.
Every legacy is different. What unites them is a belief that healthy oceans should belong to generations we will never meet.

Already included Sea Shepherd in your will? Let us know so we can thank you and welcome you to the Shepherds Forever Society.
The oceans will always need defenders
Nearly 50 years of action has taught us that lasting change happens because people choose to stand together and protect something larger than themselves.
What we leave behind matters. By making the oceans part of your legacy, you can help ensure they have defenders for generations to come.
