| Description | Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign:During the Society's eighth expedition to Antarctica, our 2011-2012 Antarctic whale defense campaign, intiated in early December 2011, Sea Shepherd was able to bring renewed attention to illegal whaling as well as save hundreds of whales from slaughter. Our ships, the "Steve Irwin", "Bob Barker",and "Brigitte Bardot", as well as our helicopter, the "Nancy Burnet", were dispatched to intercept and prevent, through non-violent direct intervention, the Japanese whaling fleet from killing threatened and endangered whales, protected by the Antarctic Treaty, the 1986 Global Moratorium on Commercial Whaling, and the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The Australian government is taking the government of Japan to the International Court of Justice in the Hague on allegations of criminal behavior, namely the poaching of whales.The goal of Operation Divine Wind was to prevent the Japanese whaling fleet from reaching their self-allocated quota by saving as many whales from slaughter as possible, while also bringing global media attention to the issue of illegal whaling. Animal Planet, part of Discovery Communication LLC, accompanied the Sea Shepherd vessels and filmed the fifth season of the popular television series 'Whale Wars'.The Japanese whaling fleet was chased for a total of three months and 17,000 nautical miles, during which time international media attention was focused on Sea Shepherd's non-violent intervention efforts. Illegal whaling was in the global spotlight when thanks to Sea Shepherd's efforts, the Australian government banned all Japanese whaling ships from entering the MacQuarie Island Reserve to pursue the Sea Shepherd ships. This was an important political move to establish legal precendent in expelling the Japanese whaling fleet from the Australian Antarctic Territory.The campaign ended when the whaling fleet left the Antarctic Treaty Zone two weeks earlier than planned, thereby attributing the early departure to Sea Shepherd's effective efforts at stopping illegal whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Out of a quota of 1,035 whales, the Japanese whaling fleet took 267 whales. Operation Divine Wind is therefore responsible for saving 768 whales from slaughter. | Description |

| Description | Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna Defense Campaign:As a result of illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing, populations of Bluefin Tuna in the Mediterranean Sea have plummeted to numbers so low that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) have lobbied for a total ban on fishing Bluefin Tuna. Unfortunately, even though CITES and fisheries experts from other entitites believe that the species will be commercially extinct in the Meriterranean within half a decade, the 2011 Bluefin Tuna season went ahead with a quota of 12,900 metric tons, only a 600 metric ton reduction from the previous year. Experts believe that the number of Bluefin Tuna caught is four times greater than the quota, meaning that 3 out of 4 Bluefin Tuna landed in Europe have been caught illegally.In 2011, Sea Shepherd received information from a European Union fisheries expert that North African poachers would take advantage of NATO's operation Unified Protector and the civil war in Libya, to expoit Bluefin Tuna populations. This was a result of the fact that European fisheries observers made public statements of refusal to enter the conflict zone. The Sea Shepherd vessel "Steve Irwin", along with the Sea Shepherd helicopter "Nancy Burnet", patrolled the Mediterranean, including the Libyan EEZ, for the entire two week fishing season to identify and document illegal Bluefin Tuna fishing vessels and operations.Sea Shepherd boarded several fishing vessels, with permission from the vessel master, and inspected catches. Global media attention was brought to the issue when several Turkish fishing vessels unprovokedly attacked the "Steve Irwin" when permission was requested by Sea Shepherd to inspect the nets. International media sources were on board the "Steve Irwin" and delivered news reports about the threat of extinction facing the Bluefin Tuna directly from the ship. Sea Shepherd's objective is to save the Bluefin from extinction. | Description |

| Description | Galapagos:The Galapagos Automatic Identification System (AIS) is now operational, making Galapagos a leader in the world when it comes to maritime control. All equipment has been installed on nine remote sites and two control centers are now online. The Galapagos National Park Service (GNPS) as well as the navy can now monitor the movement of all vessels equipped with AIS devices. In 2011, the main payments for the infrastructure and equipment were made. We also made additional payments for the rent of a helicopter as well as program management and additional parts. All sites are self-sufficient; they operate on battery banks, fed by solar panels and need very little maintenance. This network was designed to last.Our legal project continues to make waves. Due to a bizarre development in a local shark finning case, the Galapagos judicial system is now under review. A local judge decided to release a shark finning boat caught illegally inside the Galapagos Marine Reserve. This has sparked national as well as local outcry and already it has been decided that Galapagos will get a provincial court. We set out this project with a number of goals, including to install a specialized judicial system capable of ruling in this Natural World Heritage Site. A specialized prosecutor is already in place, the provincial court will strengthen the judges' power, and the possibility to get a specialized judge for environmental cases is now under review. Should this come into effect, Sea Shepherd Galapagos will have accomplished the three main goals for creating a strong judicial base, capable of providing a high level of protection to the Galapagos wildlife.We saw a continuation of our K9 project, now in the fourth year of the project. The unit continues to detect illegal wildlife that smugglers are attempting to remove from the Galapagos protected areas. Currently, the Galapagos K9 unit is the ONLY wildlife detection dog unit in South America.Additionally, we continue to provide service and radio upgrades when needed for the Galapagos police as well as the Agricultural Inspection Service. | Description |
