Sea Shepherd is not anti any nationality or culture. We are pro-wildlife/habitat and we oppose poachers / illegal operations and those who exploit habitats, endanger protected marine or freshwater wildlife or pollute rivers, seas and oceans.
Sea Shepherd donations therefore are never used to purchase meat or animal derived products for our fleet of ships.
Sea Shepherd’s greatest strength is that we reflect the desire of the broadest sections of society to protect our oceans and marine wildlife. As such, it is important that ALL Sea Shepherd supporters and volunteers are made to feel welcome regardless of their lifestyle/dietary habits. Support for our mission statement should be the main prerequisite for somebody being made to feel welcome by Sea Shepherd.
Sea Shepherd UK will provide only Vegan food at events where we are the organiser to match the policy of Sea Shepherd ships.
Sea Shepherd UK inevitably has stands at some events each year organised by other groups where catering by the organisers or other stallholders may include meat and animal products. Sea Shepherd UK attends such events to provide outreach to members of the public who may not be aware of Sea Shepherd or marine conservation issues. Sea Shepherd UK volunteers who are Vegan/Vegetarian may (as is their right) choose to not attend such events for Sea Shepherd.

We are Sea Shepherd UK
Established in the US in 1977, 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. We use 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 UK works to ensure their survival for future generations.
We are Sea Shepherd
We are one of the few global environmental organizations that focuses primarily on direct action.
Whether it is in the Antarctic protecting whales, protecting the Bight of Australia, or fighting poachers off the coast of Africa, we are in field working hard to protect our marine environment.
The animals and environments we protect are located across the globe, so we need your support to send help when it is needed. Please donate today.
Sea Shepherd has a long and rich history protecting animals and the ocean environment. Read our Mission Statement.
Whether helping your local chapter, traveling afar to stop animal attrocities, or crewing one of our ships, we have a place for you.
