Iceland will be whaling for 5 more years
and shark consumption has doubled worldwide, but Sea Shepherd Brasil is fighting back.
Dear Seaspirians,
Here are this month’s most groundbreaking and revelatory investigations along with international ocean campaigns we support.
This is what makes working at Seaspiracy worth it, shedding light on investigations and then supporting worldwide campaigns that need to come to the forefront. Sharing these reports whilst asking you to take key actions (sending an email or signing a petition) can really change policy and push for stronger regulation. Remember, the fishing industry has been operating under a veil of secrecy, it’s time their shady business comes to light.
🎁 For this holiday season consider gifting a subscription to the Seaspiracy Observer!
