As Sea Shepherd enters its fourth decade of direct action on the high seas, I am inspired by the support we receive from people like you--people who value our oceans and wish to protect their inhabitants. Your support helps Sea Shepherd give a voice to the voiceless and defend marine wildlife around the world. We are currently working to defend dolphins in Japan and bring international media attention to the plight of sharks in the Galapagos. Keep reading to find out more! Campaign Begins in Tokyo for the Dolphins and Children of Japan In an effort to protect both dolphins and children, Sea Shepherd activists began a campaign in the heart of Tokyo last week to bring attention to a Japanese national scandal. Sea Shepherd launched the campaign on September 25-Dolphin Day-to protest the killing of tens of thousands of defenseless dolphins and the government-sanctioned feeding of their toxic meat to innocent Japanese school children.

Invests in Shark Finning Sea Shepherd was recently alerted to Inc.'s investment in the deplorable shark fin industry. is a 40% owner of Alibaba, a Chinese company that trades in shark fins and contributes to the senseless and agonizing deaths of sharks worldwide. We have received numerous inquiries in recent weeks about the removal of our listings from GoodSearch and Freelanthropy Search, search engines that contribute a portion of the proceeds from each search to the nonprofit organization of the user's choice. Regrettably, these search engines are powered by , and despite our support of their mission in theory, Sea Shepherd simply cannot in good conscience benefit from a company such as that invests in the despicable shark fin industry. Last month, Captain Watson wrote a letter to asking, "Is this the legacy that you want to leave-the destruction of the world's sharks for shark fin soup in China?" He did not receive a reply. We urge you to voice your opposition to shark finning. Tell and its partners that you will avoid using their services until they STOP condoning the violent murder of innocent sharks.
