A perfect storm is upon us – lashing with vengeance at the last vestiges of healthy space in the oceans. Keystone species are vanishing, poaching is rampant, plastics are ubiquitous, and coral reefs are fading. The current U.S. administration’s pro-industry agenda makes these threats all the more menacing.
At Sea Shepherd Legal, we share in your hope that the oceans can weather the storm — to rise resilient, to prevail against the odds. We stand committed to using our expertise, extensive global network, and unwavering passion to ensure a future for the oceans and the extraordinary life that inhabits them. Our work throughout 2017 illustrates that commitment.
This report provides just a glimpse of our progress in 2017 and showcases how much we have accomplished in the few short years since we conceived of founding the only law firm dedicated solely to enhancing legal protections for the oceans. Whether demanding policy reform, collaborating with governments, or pushing for the prosecution of poachers, we are securing justice for the sea.
Thank you for your own commitment to marine life, for standing with us at the helm, and for your confidence in our ability to fight the good fight.
For the oceans,
Catherine PruettExecutive Director, Sea Shepherd Legal
