As I finished a post for the blog earlier this morning, I clicked on a link I found on line about Sea Shepherd. What I read was so alarming, I shelved the post for today, and am writing about this instead.
I hope you already know about the Sea Shepherd and the crucial work they have been doing for decades, but in case you are not familiar with their mission, here it is:
Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Their mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.
Indeed, they are doing amazing work, while effecting major change.
So, this morning I came upon something online informing me that the Steve Irwin, one of Sea Shepherd's vessels, has been detained by the UK courts because of a civil lawsuit brought against Sea Shepherd by a Maltese company: Fish and Fish Limited (F & F). This is due to Sea Shepherd's actions that saved 800+ illegally caught bluefin tuna during Operation Blue Rage 2010.
Unless Sea Shepherd immediately posts a bond for USD$1,411,692.87, the Steve Irwin will be held or possibly sold.
We're sending an emergency donation to Sea Shepherd to help them post the bond. If you can help, please go to http://www.seashepherd.org/ and learn about this emergency.
I hope you can help. Even if you cannot donate, you can share this information, and the link, with other people. We've got to do everything possible and get the Steve Irwin back into action NOW.
Always remember... "Individually, we are one drop; together, we are an ocean." Do your part, there's not a moment to waste.
