Create an enormous income helping the Sea Shepherd protect sea creatures

By raising money to help stop the butchery of seals, whales, sharks, and other endangered creatures, we are ultimately working to make the world a better place.

Our new 'Sea Shepherd Backup' program is definitely a money-making program. But it is also a major funding program for the Paul Watson's 'Sea Shepherd Conservation Society' which is the most active and effective of all marine conservation groups.

The fact that you can make money helping a great cause, doesn't make your efforts any less honorable - provided that donors know how their money is being used. After all, you have to live and support your family, and earning money from your effort is the very foundation of American life. The more money we make, the better able we are build strong families, and help others - people and animals alike.

As a Sea Shepherd Backup crew member, you will be helping to fund Paul Watson's animal defense campaigns. But, as you recruit more and more members, you'll be
also be building a powerful marine protection agency. An organization strong enough to influence International laws - and a fleet of Sea shepherd ships large enough to enforce them.

The need is critical. Few people have any idea what it is like under the surface of the oceans and aren't aware of how badly the seas are suffering. Walking along the beach or standing on a wharf, everything looks exactly the same as it always has. Sea birds still flock over schools of small fish, and you can still find small crabs, starfish, and minnows in tide pools. But farther out, in the deep water where the commercial fishermen make their living harvesting cod, salmon, mackerel, hake, tuna, and the other fish species we only see when they are served to us in restaurants, things have changed a great deal.

The once-boundless schools of large top-level predators have shrunk by 90% and many
fish and animals have disappeared entirely or have become critically endangered. More than 150 more species of once-plentiful marine animals, including sharks, tuna, whales, albatross, sea turtles, and sea lions, will be gone by the year 2048.

Your income as a Sea Shepherd Backup crew member will be unlimited if you spend a little time each week encouraging other animal lovers to join us. Just show as many people as you can the pamphlets and videos that we'll provide for you. They show just how desperate ocean conditions really are, and how badly help is needed if we hope to prevent the complete collapse of the marine eco-system.
