Dear friends at the Aaron and Patricia Blumberg Foundation,

We are deeply grateful for your generous donations consecutively for the past 15 years! Your continued support has been transformative for our work. Thank you for your 40k gift in December 2023 and 50k gift in December 2024. We want to show you how your support is hard at work and everything it helped us to achieve in 2024. This unwavering commitment to marine conservation has been instrumental in Sea Shepherd’s efforts to protect the world’s most vulnerable ocean species. Your generous support has allowed our crews to remain on the front lines, intercepting poachers, removing hazardous fishing nets, and defending entire ecosystems from the devastating effects of illegal activity.

Your dedication doesn’t just safeguard individual species—it helps preserve the delicate balance of marine life under constant threat from illegal poaching and environmental degradation. With your help, every net removed and every illegal operation stopped brings us one step closer to a healthier, more sustainable ocean for all.

These images below, captured in late January, show our crews locating and retrieving an active illegal net in the Vaquita Refuge.

Many animals were rescued, and countless others were spared from a grim fate. Removing active nets is even more critical than clearing ghost nets—every net pulled from the water is one less tool in the hands of cartels and illegal fishing operations.

Support like yours makes missions like this possible, keeping our crews on the front lines where they’re needed most.

Your generosity equips our crews with the tools to stay on the front lines—ships that hold the line, radar and sonar to detect poachers, drones to track illegal activity, and the dedicated men and women who put themselves in harm’s way to defend marine life. Every mission we undertake is powered by supporters like you.

The fight is far from over, but with you standing with us, we will keep pushing forward. Thank you for making this work possible.

With gratitude,
Pritam Singh
