Sea Shepherd’s Mission Statement

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.

 

  • Sea Shepherd campaigns are guided by the United Nations World Charter for Nature. Sections 21-24 of the Charter provides authority to individuals to act on behalf of and enforce international conservation laws.
  • Sea Shepherd cooperates fully with all international law enforcement agencies and its enforcement activities complying with standard practices of law and policing enforcement.
  • Sea Shepherd adheres to the utilization of non-violent principles in the course of all actions and has taken a standard against violence in the protection of the oceans.
  • The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is dedicated to working towards cooperative agreements between nations to protect species and habitats according to SSCS Mandate.

Get Involved With Sea Shepherd! Become a Volunteer!

 

Interested in joining the most active volunteer marine conservation organization in the world? Whether its Sea, Shore or Land Sea Shepherd has a place for you to Defend, Conserve, and Protect, this great planet that we all share! You can choose between Crewing at SeaOnshore Volunteer, or Ground Crew. Volunteer aboard the Martin Sheen, John Paul DeJoria, and Farley Mowat Sea Shepherd is looking for dedicated individuals to crew aboard our ocean-going ships. Our obstacles are immense. The motivation to destroy life in our oceans is fueled by material greed.

It is easy to recruit crew for money, however, we need to recruit a crew motivated by passion. We need people who are compelled to fight the injustices perpetrated upon whales, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, sea birds, fish, and every living thing in the world’s oceans. We need such people on our ship and in the ranks of our supporters. All marine wildlife and the ecosystems in which they live are worth fighting for. We need your help in this endeavor.

As a result of an injunction imposed upon the organization on December 17, 2012, by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society no longer participates in the Southern Ocean whale defense campaigns. The Southern Ocean whale defense campaigns are coordinated by Sea Shepherd Australia Limited, a separate organization, and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society cannot accept donations or volunteers for those campaigns.

Fondé en août 2017, le Chapitre Montréal de Sea Shepherd est fier d’être le premier chapitre francophone en Amérique du Nord. Notre ville, vibrante de gens de diverses communautés, est la métropole du Québec et l’une des plus grandes villes au Canada.  Nous parlons français et anglais. Il y a plusieurs figures internationales originaires ou vivant à Montréal dont la chanteuse Céline Dion, Arcade Fire, le célèbre Cirque du Soleil et le regretté Leonard Cohen pour n’en nommer que quelques-uns.

Le chapitre de Sea Shepherd Montréal amasse des fonds et informe la population sur la santé des océans et de la faune, ainsi que le développement de mentalités plus éco-responsables et durables grâce à sa participation à divers événements dans le Grand Montréal et à travers le Québec et le Nord-Est Américain.  Les représentants du chapitre sont présents à des kiosques lors de spectacles musicaux ou d’événements des droits des animaux, lors de présentations dans des écoles ou sur des campus. Ils représentent aussi l’organisme lors d’événements de manifestations et de prises de conscience, ils animent des présentations de films et des nettoyages des berges avec le public, de façon informative et amicale.

First established in August 2017, the Sea Shepherd Montreal Chapter is proud to be the first French chapter in North America. Our city, a bustling and diverse crossroad of people, is the metropole of Quebec, and one of the largest cities in Canada. We speak both French and English.  There are many famous Montreal-born or –living figures in the world today, including singer-Celine Dion, Arcade Fire, the famous Cirque du Soleil and the late Leonard Cohen to name a few.

The Sea Shepherd Montreal Chapter raises funds and awareness for ocean health and wildlife, as well as sustainable and responsible mentalities toward all ecosystems, through its participation in Greater Montreal Area events and throughout the province of Quebec and north-eastern USA. Chapter representatives can often be found tabling at music shows or animal rights festivals, presenting at schools and on campus, facilitating street-level demonstrations and awareness events, hosting film screenings and cleanups, and engaging with the public in an informative and amiable manner.
