| Desc | Legal Campaign: Sea Shepherd LegalDue to Sea Shepherd USA's ongoing effectiveness and success, we have attracted some formidable opponents. In 2013, Sea Shepherd USA established a legal arm of the organization, Sea Shepherd Legal. The goal of this entity is to protect not only Sea Shepherd USA from legal challenges designed to thwart our conservation efforts, but also to proactively defend our clients--the whales, dolphins, sharks, seals, turtles, fish and other species of ocean wildlife -- on the legal front as well as on the high seas. Sea Shepherd USA recognizes that the effort to protect the imperiled oceans must also take place in the courtrooms as well as through our direct action conservation campaigns. | Desc |

| Desc | Dolphin Campaign: Operation Infinite Patience, Fall 2012-Winter 2013:Each year Sea Shepherd USA sends ground crews -volunteers from around the world - to Taiji, Japan. This small town located in Southeastern Japan, the focus of the Academy Award-winning film The Cove, is a scenic coastal site, but its beauty is stained by the drive hunt, capture and slaughter of up to 2,000 dolphins and other small cetaceans every year. Throughout the six-month 2012-2013 hunt season, our Cove Guardians documented and live streamed each hunt, capture for captivity and slaughter in Taiji, exposing the cruel hunt of marine mammals and applying pressure on Japan to end the slaughter. Our campaign has successfully reduced the number of cetaceans killed, due to the continuous presence of our Cove Guardians throughout the hunt season and has thrust the world's spotlight upon the hunts. This ongoing campaign continues to keep worldwide media, government and public attention on the important issue of the slaughter of highly intelligent, socially complex cetaceans in the world's oceans. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 2: New Services | Sea Shepherd undertook a new program "The Vortex Project" which is described more fully in Schedule O Program Service Accomplishments. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 3: Ceased Conducting or Significant Changes To Services | As described in the 2012 Form 990, the Organization ceased conducting one of its programs services in December, 2012. Funding for the whale defense campaign was stopped by the Organization upon receipt of an injunction issued by the 9th circuit court. Some residual expenses remained in early 2013. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: UAV Program: Unmanned Aerial VehiclesA new and developing tactic in the conservation of wildlife is the use of drone technology. Sea Shepherd USA has implemented the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) to protect ocean wildlife. This technology provides Sea Shepherd USA with a new and indispensable way to more effectively and safely protect ocean wildlife from slaughter, poaching and illegal operations, as well as to document and spread awareness of these critical issues facing threatened species. These "eyes in the sky" also act as a deterrent to poachers, who know that wildlife and the oceans are monitored. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Galapagos: Protecting the Galapagos Marine ReserveSince 2000, Sea Shepherd USA has maintained a strong, positive presence in the Galapagos Islands. Home to some of the most diverse and stunning wildlife in the world, the Galapagos are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sea Shepherd USA has worked in cooperation with Galapagos authorities to support efforts to protect this unique and sacred ecosystem and the wildlife within from the threat of poaching, patrolling the Galapagos Marine Reserve to help oppose illegal shark finning and other poaching activities.Sea Shepherd USA funded and built an Automatic Identification System (AIS) to facilitate efforts by the Galapagos National Park Service to monitor vessels operating within the Galapagos Marine Reserve. Sea Shepherd USA has also helped to implement and continues to support an elite police K9 unit. The K9 unit is the first detection of contraband wildlife, and has tracked thousands of illegally smuggled animals and shark fins. In 2013, the first of the wildlife-sniffing police dogs retired and Sea Shepherd USA has ensured continuing care for the other police dogs, including shelter and veterinary treatment.Sea Shepherd USA has also implemented educational programs and conducts local outreach in the schools to spread awareness of the importance of marine conservation.Lastly, Sea Shepherd USA has set up a legal project to aid in the prosecution of criminals for crimes against wildlife, as poaching and smuggling are environmental crimes under Ecuadorian law. The legal project, in place since 2010, protects wildlife on the legal front through: (a) attending judicial hearings, as members of the public; (b) attending judicial inspections, as official observers from civil society (c) preparing, submitting and presenting legal briefs known as Amicus Curiae to provide courts with specialized international, constitutional and legal arguments on (i) marine protected areas; (ii) marine protected species; and (iii) world natural heritage. Due in part to this program, poaching in the Galapagos is now considered a serious crime. Poachers who once received a slap on the wrist and a warning for their crimes are now receiving severe and just consequences, including jail time and significant fines. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Sea Lion Campaign: Dam Guardians, Spring 2013From March to May 2013, Sea Shepherd volunteers were present at the Bonneville Dam and at the Port of Astoria to monitor the hazing, branding and killing of California sea lions by the Oregon and Washington Departments of Fish and Wildlife. The Dam Guardians documented the harassment of these protected marine mammals in photos and video to spread awareness, publicized the needless killing, and educated about the scapegoating of sea lions, as well as the true causes of the decline in the salmon population in the Columbia River: overfishing, pollution, dam turbines and more.Up to 368 California sea lions face execution by the states of Oregon and Washington for the "crime" of eating endangered salmon. State authorities are allowed to kill up to 92 of these federally protected sea lions annually until June, 2016. The sea lions are branded with hot irons, hazed with rubber bullets and explosives (that create a virtual war zone for local residents as well) and are killed by lethal injection or shotgun for eating only 1-4% of the salmon at the dam. This war on wildlife is conducted on the taxpayer's dime and takes place while commercial, sport and tribal fisheries are allowed to take up to 17% of the same endangered salmon, and the dam itself claims approximately 17% of the adult salmon. Sea Shepherd USA's mere presence on site to defend the sea lions and report on their mistreatment and killing has brought attention to this important issue. We also collaborate with other national and grassroots NGOs to join forces in opposition to this ongoing nightmare for sea lions on the Columbia River. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Dolphin Campaign: Operation Infinite Patience, Fall 2012-Winter 2013:Each year Sea Shepherd USA sends ground crews -volunteers from around the world - to Taiji, Japan. This small town located in Southeastern Japan, the focus of the Academy Award-winning film The Cove, is a scenic coastal site, but its beauty is stained by the drive hunt, capture and slaughter of up to 2,000 dolphins and other small cetaceans every year. Throughout the six-month 2012-2013 hunt season, our Cove Guardians documented and live streamed each hunt, capture for captivity and slaughter in Taiji, exposing the cruel hunt of marine mammals and applying pressure on Japan to end the slaughter. Our campaign has successfully reduced the number of cetaceans killed, due to the continuous presence of our Cove Guardians throughout the hunt season and has thrust the world's spotlight upon the hunts. This ongoing campaign continues to keep worldwide media, government and public attention on the important issue of the slaughter of highly intelligent, socially complex cetaceans in the world's oceans. |
