NGO Overview, Mission, and Purpose: What We Are About and Who We Help
"Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species." Sea Shepherd is dedicated to the protection, by any means, of marine biological life all over the world. Our goal is to rid the waters of whale hunters, seal hunters and any other threats to the ocean's wildlife, including coral reefs and the ocean fauna. We serve to stop the slaying of innocent and helpless whales, dolphins, tuna, sea lions, seals, and even sharks.

NGO "Bottom Line": How We Make an Impact
Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. Federal law states that we cannot move with in 500 yards of foreign vessels even if they are carrying whales or seals. However, we can block the space between the hunting vessels and the carriers from exchanging the carcasses. We also document ships on the seas that are suspicious for illegally killing marine wildlife and using the resources from the whales, dolphins, and seals. We then can use this evidence to ban these ships from sea or have them inspected for their illegality.
