Sea Shepherd France

Sea Shepherd France is an association dedicated to the defense and protection of the oceans, founded in 2006. The organization focuses on combating illegal fishing and raising public awareness about marine conservation issues. It operates primarily in France and has established a reputation for its active campaigns against poaching and environmental degradation. Sea Shepherd France is independent of state funding and relies solely on donations from supporters. The organization has a fleet of vessels, including the Walrus and John Paul DeJoria II, which are used for various missions aimed at protecting marine life and habitats. In addition to its maritime operations, Sea Shepherd France has established the Sea Shepherd Rescue Center in Brittany, which provides care for injured or distressed wildlife. This center, opened in 2023, is the first of its kind for the organization and plays a crucial role in wildlife rehabilitation and advocacy. Sea Shepherd France is also involved in various campaigns, including those focused on the Iberian Orca and Dolphin ByCatch, and actively engages in legal actions to protect wildlife. The organization is committed to educating the public about the importance of marine conservation and the threats facing ocean ecosystems. It maintains a presence on several social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube, to connect with supporters and share updates on its activities.
