YOUR IMPACT | SEA SHEPHERD’S PARTNERSHIP WITH MEXICO
Dear Friends at the Powell Foundation,
Thank you for your 8 consecutive years of support! Your dedication to protecting the Vaquita Refuge has been instrumental in Sea Shepherd’s fight against illegal fishing. Thanks to your support, our crews remain on the water, intercepting poachers, cutting deadly nets, and safeguarding the last remaining vaquita from extinction.
Your commitment doesn’t just defend the vaquita—it extends to sea lions, totoaba, and the entire fragile ecosystem under threat from cartel-driven poaching. With your help, every net removed and every illegal operation pushed out makes a real impact in securing a future for these species.
This month, our crew—stationed 24/7 in the Vaquita Refuge—has removed multiple nets, intercepted cartel fishing, and, through our strengthened partnership with Mexico, maintained an effective deterrent that prevents countless illegal nets from ever entering the water.
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
