Sea Shepherd in the Galapagos
Since 2000, Sea Shepherd has maintained a strong, positive presence in the Galapagos Islands. From patroling the Marine Reserve stopping illegal fishing activities, to busting shark finners, to educating the local youth, Sea Shepherd carries out its mission of promoting ocean conservation using a wide range of methods and actions.The Galapagos is our line in the sand. If humanity cannot protect such a unique and diverse ecosystem, we will not be able to protect any ecosystem. The Galapagos is a challenge and battlefield for the effort to halt human greed and destruction. These Enchanted Isles are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and this means all of us have a responsibility to help protect them from illegal exploitation.

Since 1974 with the film release of Jaws the image of sharks changed forever. The most magnificent predator of the seas became a killer machine that had to be killed! And then begun the drama that today persists as "Shark Tournaments". Ocean Sentry want to denounce this horrendous slaughter, so we asked Jason Heller to publish two excellent articles, one about Montauk Shark Tournament and a second one about Oak Bluffs Monster Shark Tournament and finally great advices to take action and denounce these horrible events.
