Volunteer Onshore with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Helping to conserve, protect, and defend marine life requires time, dedication and passion and most importantly the readiness to show up and promote the Sea Shepherd mission through public awareness. The below are just a few of the things you can do as an Onshore Volunteer to support Sea Shepherd’s mission: table at a local event, expo, festival or create your own tabling event, hold a benefit for Sea Shepherd at a local restaurant, pub or community meeting place, organize beach and other marine environment clean-ups, cultivate public awareness through distribution of Sea Shepherd materials and giving presentations at schools and community forums, host a Sea Shepherd party at home for friends and family, provide valuable skills like graphic design work, photography or donate art for auctions. There is a $30 non-refundable donation required for each applicant. Not only does this help cover the cost of processing your application, but if you are approved as an Onshore Volunteer, this will help cover the cost of training, orientation, and the outreach materials they send you. If you have any questions about the Onshore Volunteer program, please reach out to [email protected] or check out their website! Visit: https://seashepherd.org/get-involved/onshore-volunteer/
Volunteer At Sea with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society needs people who are compelled to fight the injustices perpetrated upon whales, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, sea birds, fish, and every living thing in the world’s oceans. They need such people on their ship and in the ranks of our supporters. They are looking for navigators, sailors, engineers, electricians, carpenters, welders, cooks, medics or nurses, small boat operators, photographers, videographers, electronics technicians, radio and antenna technicians, and even a few unskilled but dedicated Ocean Defenders. Volunteering means dedicating usually at least a month out at sea while pulling destructive longlines from the ocean, saving ocean wildlife, educating future generations, & making good friends. The objective is to protect and save ocean wildlife and to uphold International Conservation Law. For more information, check out their website: https://seashepherd.org/get-involved/crewing-at-sea/
