Mission Statement
We are a nonprofit environmental law firm committed to saving marine wildlife and habitats by enforcing, strengthening, and developing protective laws, treaties, policies and practices worldwide.
About This Cause
Overharvested and underprotected, our oceans are dying. Scores of marine wildlife species are at risk of extinction, and marine ecosystems are in grave danger of total collapse. There is only a patchwork of international environmental conventions that provide protection for marine wildlife. Domestic laws are rife with loopholes and are inadequately enforced. To address these tragedies, we formed Sea Shepherd Legal. We utilize three key tools to carry out our mission: Litigation: Sea Shepherd Legal pursues litigation to ensure protection of marine species and habitats. Our litigation campaigns elicit effective application of law, prompt appropriate government enforcement and action, and punish and deter criminal and irresponsible actions that jeopardize ocean life. Policy Development: Sea Shepherd Legal works to enhance laws and legal regimes, bolster the capacity of government officials to carry out effective enforcement, facilitate reform and transparency, build coalitions, align international and domestic obligations, and address legal loopholes in furtherance of marine conservation. Public Awareness: Sea Shepherd Legal raises public awareness about marine conservation, providing facts, law, resources and tools to help mobilize citizens to make responsible choices that will protect marine wildlife and habitats in the long term. Our core team consists of multiple attorneys supported by allies including scientific advisors, investigators, law school environmental programs, and government officials. We work together to effectively protect marine wildlife and habitats across the globe.
