Featured Non-Profit Organization for July 25, 2010 Dinner
Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Their 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. The SSCS has been the world’s most active marine non-profit organization for the past 31 years, with Captain Paul Watson as its Master and Commander. Without a doubt, the Sea Shepherd is the most experienced marine wildlife conservation interventionist organization in the world, and Captain Watson is the single most experienced marine conservation sea captain on the high seas today. Captain Watson has embarked on over 200 voyages covering many of the world’s oceans and defending and saving defenseless marine life all along the way.
The SSCS has established the Gulf Rescue Campaign, calling upon all able organizations to join them in sending vessels with trained crew to support large-scale efforts in the Gulf of Mexico to rescue oiled sea birds, turtles, and other marine species. Together they have the resources, skills, experience, and passion to make a huge difference in the number of lives and species that can be saved from this disastrous oil spill. They can provide the offshore facilities needed to complement onshore rescue efforts for the finding, capture, treatment, and transport of marine animals viable for rescue. Please visit http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/news-100517-1.html to learn more about this campaign.
In addition to their Gulf Rescue Campaign, Sea Shepherd has ongoing campaigns working for dolphins, the Galapagos Islands, seals, sharks, and whales. You can learn more about SSCS at http://www.seashepherd.org/.
