🦈🐋 MEET THE FLEET - The M/V Sam Simon

One of the most iconic ships in the Sea Shepherd fleet, The MV Sam Simon has been defending marine life around the world since 2012.

Once part of a Japanese whaling fleet, this vessel is now used to deter illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and protect marine ecosystems across the globe. From the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to the coastal waters of Europe and Africa, the Sam Simon plays a vital role in helping Sea Shepherd to defend the world’s oceans.

Most recently, the Sam Simon returned from Operation Dolphin Bycatch in France’s Bay of Biscay, where overfishing is responsible for the deaths of thousands of dolphins each year. After undergoing necessary maintenance, the ship is now ready to rejoin the battle to protect the word’s oceans.

It's World Turtle Day! 🐢❤️
Our sea turtles have called our oceans home since the age of the dinosaur, but with 6 of the 7 species being threatened or endangered, we need to act now or we could very well see a future without these amazing creatures.

Macer: Deckhand
Origin: England

I have worked with, and for, animals for many years, most recently specializing in the rehabilitation of rescued primates. Working with wild animals has given me an awareness of the organizations fighting to preserve the environment and I have always admired Sea Shepherd's incredible values and front-line work for the world’s oceans.

It is for these reasons I was keen to join Operation Milagro, with the aim to disrupt and impact the illegal poaching activities that are threatening the existence of the rare vaquita porpoise. Being part of an amazing, courageous, and passionate crew, coming together from all over the world with this one aim, was an incredible experience!
