Operation Antarctica Defence.
New ship, new mission and new campaign t-shirt! Sea Shepherd is returning to the Southern Ocean at a critical time in Operation Antarctica Defence.
Our precious Antarctic ecosystem is facing another sinister threat requiring the team to head south once more.
The balance of life in the Southern Ocean is under siege—not from harpoons this time, but from the industrial krill trawlers stripping away the base of the food web. These massive ships target krill by the ton, threatening the survival of humpbacks, fin whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds. In one confirmed case this year, a whale died in a krill trawl net.
Sea Shepherd’s legacy in Antarctica began with defending whales from illegal slaughter. Today, their focus has sharpened on defending their food source—not only for the whales, but for the future of this wild ocean. From the historic whaling station at Deception Island to the last living strongholds like the Gerlache Strait, we are the only ones on the water challenging this plunder in real time.
Wear the Mission. Defend the Ocean.
Sea Shepherd's sole mission is to protect and conserve the world's oceans and marine wildlife. They work to defend all marine wildlife, from whales and dolphins to sharks and rays, to fish and krill, without exception.
