Sea Shepherd Volunteers

Join the
Onshore Crew

For nearly 50 years, volunteers have powered Sea Shepherd. Our fight doesn't end at the deck. On land, the movement grows city by city.

Local chapters turn commitment into action, tackling pollution, educating communities, and fueling campaigns worldwide. Onshore crews across North America clear thousands of pounds of trash from beaches and waterways and rally supporters at community events.
