Direct Action & Protection
From the Front Lines
Happy Friday! And now for good news; our crew spent some time in the sun helping the Navy break down totoaba nets.
Feels good to sweat a little for an endangered species, so get out there and do some good in your world this weekend.

Antarctica. Full of magic and wonder. We never take for granted the life and beauty that thrive there and neither do you.
Krill is an unnecessary plunder of this majestic place and so few humans are protecting it.
Thank you for being a part of protecting this place and our planet.
Keep a look out for KRILL PRODUCTS and send us photos.
Krill is found in pet food (as omega 3), vitamin supplements for humans, cosmetics, and fishmeal for fish farms. Awareness is half the battle. #StopThePlunder

To all the mothers out there.
We hope you enjoy your day along with some of our favorite mothers from this year.
The last shot is in honor of the vaquita mama we saw last year on the Vaquita Survey 2023, exactly one year ago today!
As we desperately search for more vaquita mothers and calves, may we be blessed with a mother’s love and good fortune.

Our crew on night watch, captured some of the rare #solarstorm #northernlights from our boat in Mexico.
This was taken with long exposure. Visibly one could only see a faint red sky to the north. 🇲🇽
Did you see them? Try looking up and north tonight!

Happy Friday. You made it. The Seahorse crew are preparing for the great Vaquita Survey of 2024. Washing windows, building out the deck for the scientists, and pumping some last minute iron.

⚠️ Heartbreaking news from the #FaroeIslands: 40 pilot whales mercilessly slaughtered in the first grind of 2024. Our crew was there, gathering crucial evidence to stop this massacre. But we can`t do it alone!👇
Read the commentary by our Faroes Campaign Lead, Valentina Crast, for more insight into our ongoing efforts and how you can help us #StoptheGrind.✊(link in our bio)

Happy Sunday. The Seahorse crew goes about its routine in the Upper Gulf.
This week we start the Vaquita Survey of 2024.
Here you can see an example of what it`s like for a Sunday night aboard the vessel.
Poachers try to sneak in under the darkness but we have a lot of toys to find them.
Thank you for being here with us! Have a great week.

Another surprising thing our crew discovered in the Faroe Islands was that food was in high abundance and so was food waste.
You could buy anything there.
The abundance of imports and exports do not change with the slaughter of pilot whales. They’re two separate things that do not affect the other; the modern world next to the killing beach is full of people not practicing the Grind.
This is no small village in need of anything. It’s an independent nation that is full of modernization.
We have yet to understand why the Grind is relevant to their world.

On occasion, tiny land birds come to visit, some don’t live long after their journey. We try to give them water and comfort on their last days.
Today, we pay tribute to all our land and sea birds that have said hello to the Seahorse.
Have a great Tuesday!

Monday. We all go back to work from our weekend. Our crew never clocks out, but on their down time they do have rituals and rites of passage.
Tattooing has been a long past time of sailors and we honor that tradition.

There’s a lot of myths about the Grind.
The Sea Shepherd crew is there to explore and learn more about those myths and what it’s like to live in the Faroe Islands.
The Faroese are innovative, generous, well-traveled, modern people.
This is not a place filled with monsters, but rather a paradox of modernity and the ways of old.
The only people who can #stopthegrind are the people who live in the Faroe Islands.
We urge them to join the global community in protecting whales instead of killing them.

Over the weekend, the Seahorse crew found a dead sea lion. It appears to have died due to an entanglement. Large gill nets kill anything and everything in its path.
What can you do?
Stay connected to your local food sources and reconsider industrialized fishing products.
