Saving whales is what we do best and what we are most noted for. Our approach has been simple and straightforward. We have shut down outlaw whaling activities in Norway, Iceland, Spain, and the former Soviet Union. We continue to be the most aggressive, most successful, and only organization dedicated to direct-action and intervention to protect the great leviathans. Sea Shepherd has built a reputation for action on the high seas that is paralleled by none others and is the ONLY organization that repeatedly journeys to Antarctica to intervene to protect these gentle giants.
