Sea Shepherd Global is a non-profit marine conservation organization.

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organisation. 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.

🌿🌊 Welcome back to Ocean 101, where with Seaspiracy, we explore the wonders of our blue planet, one lesson at a time!

Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of kelp forests. These underwater ecosystems are full of life, from tiny invertebrates to sharks, octopuses and sea otters. 🦦🐙

But what makes them so special? And how much do they have in common with the forests we know on land?

Swipe to explore a forest like no other! 💙

🚨🗣️ The future of Antarctica is being decided in Australia next week!

On Monday, CCAMLR (the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) opens its annual meeting at its Tasmania headquarters. 📍 Delegates from 27 member countries will decide on krill catch limits and proposed marine protected areas (MPAS) in the Southern Ocean.

Antarctica needs stronger protection now. We’re calling on CCAMLR to:
1️⃣ Refuse any increase in the krill catch limit
2️⃣ Protect the Antarctic Peninsula and South Orkney Islands as no-take marine protected areas
3️⃣ Move the fleet out of whale feeding grounds by restoring rules that spread the catch

You can help by shopping at retailers and pharmacies that have already dropped krill products. Find them on our krill-free retail map, https://www.seashepherdglobal.org/our-campaigns/antarctica-defense/c/actions/ 🔗

CCAMLR, we will be watching. 👀

Some good news worth waddling over for! 🐧💙

The ocean still has surprises for us, even among animals we thought we knew well. Swipe to meet the newest member of the penguin family.

Discoveries like this give us even more reason to protect marine life and the waters they call home. In Antarctica, that means defending the krill that feeds penguins, whales and seals.

Support Operation Antarctica Defense through the link and use our Krill Toolkit to audit retailers and help us change the krill market from the inside. 🏴‍☠️

Hello! Come meet some of the crew keeping the Age of Union ready for action! 🏴‍☠️🌊

Life on deck takes skill, teamwork and the willingness to show up for each other through long days and demanding conditions. These women bring all of that to our mission to protect marine life.

Want to put your skills to work for the ocean too?

Two vessels mean more traps removed, more animals released, and more evidence collected. But keeping Sea Eagle, Conrad and their crews at sea requires your support.

Help us reach our fundraising goal (2% missing!) and continue fighting illegal octopus fishing in Greece until late October. Every donation helps keep this campaign moving. 🐙✊

Today is World Octopus Day, probably one of our favorite days of the year! It is a day to celebrate these extraordinary animals, but also to fight for their protection. 🐙

By day 32 of this season, our crew had removed 10,816 illegal traps from Greek waters and released 848 octopuses back into the sea.

Combined with our previous campaigns, this brings the total since 2024 to 52,316 illegal traps removed and 3,003 octopuses saved 🐙💜

Behind these numbers are long days spent searching for hidden lines, hauling heavy traps from the seabed and checking every single one for life. We return every octopus released to the sea where it belongs.

But our campaign does not end today. We want to keep the Sea Eagle, the Conrad, and their crews at sea until late October, while continuing to gather evidence and push for lasting legal protections for octopuses in Greece.

This World Octopus Day, help us keep going. Donate through the link and support the crews protecting octopuses and marine life throughout the Mediterranean. ✊💙

📡🏴‍☠️ The technology behind our campaigns may not always be visible, but our crews depend on it every day!

When operating far from shore, reliable systems and strong technical support can make all the difference. We are looking for someone who can bring practical skills, calm problem solving and a willingness to adapt to life at sea.

If that sounds like you, or someone you know, discover the Fleet Communications Technician role and apply here:

🌟 A special crew testimony for our final update before World Octopus Day! 🐙

This season, we were fortunate to welcome Tigerlily Taylor aboard the Sea Eagle. 💙 Between helping the crew haul illegal traps from the seabed and release octopuses and other marine animals back into the sea, she documented life onboard through analogue photography and shared a few words about what it meant to take part.

🗣️ With World Octopus Day approaching, we are asking for your help to reach our fundraising goal and keep this campaign moving.

Your donation will help keep our ship and crew at sea until late October, searching for hidden lines, hauling traps from the seabed, checking every trap for life and releasing the animals found inside. It will also support our work to gather evidence and push for lasting legal protections for octopuses in Greece. 💪

Donate through the link and help us continue protecting octopuses and marine life throughout the Mediterranean. ✊💙

The krill-free movement is growing, and you can help make it bigger! ❄️🌊

What started with exposing industrial krill fishing in Antarctica is now helping change what ends up on store shelves around the world.

And this change doesn’t happen on its own 👉 People speaking up is what pushes retailers to act.

That’s why we created our Krill Toolkit. You can use it to find krill-free stores, audit retailers near you and contact companies that are still selling products made from Antarctic krill.

📣 Help us reach the next 30,000!

Find the Krill Toolkit through the Linktree 🔗 and help us change the market from the inside.
