Honoring Veterans: Our Brothers and Sisters on the Sea

Today, Sea Shepherd proudly salutes and honors veterans,who have dedicated their lives to serving on the seas and defending freedom. Like our crews, who commit to long periods at sea in service of protecting marine life, veterans of the Navy and Coast Guard embody the same dedication, resilience, and unwavering spirit. To these men and women, and to our allies in navies and government agencies worldwide, we extend our deepest gratitude for their sacrifices and steadfast devotion.

Serving on the ocean requires a unique blend of courage, endurance, and a profound sense of duty. Just as Sea Shepherd's crews commit themselves to months at sea intercepting illegal fishing and defending marine sanctuaries, veterans have spent their careers safeguarding waters and ensuring security. This shared dedication to life on the sea forms an unbreakable bond rooted in protecting what matters most-the future of our planet and its oceans.

In partnership with navies and governments worldwide, we take direct action to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, defending marine sanctuaries and ensuring that future generations can inherit a living, thriving ocean. It is this spirit of cooperation and bravery-mirroring the dedication of veterans-that powers our resolve on the frontlines.

On this day, we invite you to honor the legacy of these brave individuals by supporting Sea Shepherd's mission. Your donations help us maintain our fleet, equip our crews, and continue to intercept those who endanger marine life. Join us in upholding the same commitment veterans have shown by safeguarding our seas.
