Tolerance that saved 932 whales, Sea Shepherd launches Operation
Relentless. Like last season’s campaign, Operation Relentless will
be managed and led by Sea Shepherd Australia with campaign leaders
Bob Brown and Jeff Hansen.
It will be Sea Shepherd's 10th
Antarctic whale defense campaign defending at risk whales in the
Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. During the past nine seasons, Sea
Shepherd’s direct-action interventions have saved the lives of more
than 4,500 whales and exposed illegal Japanese whaling to the world.
A big thank you from all of us at
HoodLamb for your great efforts to protect our Oceans!
Sea Shepherd Australia is escorting the Japanese whaling fleet out of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The ships crossing north of sixty degrees are the Nisshin Maru, Yushin Maru, Yushin Maru No. 2, Shonan Maru No. 2, the Steve Irwin and the Bob Barker. Sea Shepherd has been chasing the Japanese fleet since it arrived in the Southern Ocean on January 28.
Captain Watson believes the fleet managed to kill no more than 75 whales, dramatically below both its target and last year's catch.
"Although Operation Zero Tolerance did not realise zero kills, this campaign will see the lowest take by the Japanese whaling fleet in the entire history of their Antarctic whale hunts," he said.
Sea Shepherd's three ships will continue to follow the whaling fleet to make sure they do not return. Activists have clashed with the fleet five times this season to prevent harpooning and refuelling.
HoodLamb is very thankful for the efforts of Sea Shepherd to protect the lives of whales and other actions they undertake to protect our Oceans. Congratulations from all of us on the great outcome of Operation Zero Tolerance!
The Steve Irwin forms part of the fleet out on mission Zero Tolerance. Operation Zero Tolerance is Sea Shepherds' ninth mission in the Southern Ocean to protect the lives of whales from illegal hunting.
With four ships and more than 100 international crew representing 23 nations to defend the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, this fleet is the strongest to date. Operation Zero Tolerance will be Sea Shepherd’s best-equipped and most effective campaign to date. "It will be a defining moment in Sea Shepherd’s history; we have no tolerance for whale poachers. Our objective this year is 100%. We are going to try and intercept them as quickly as possible, and try to make this the first year they get zero kills,” said Jeff Hansen, Sea Shepherd’s Australian Director.
The MV Steve Irwin is a 59.5 metre (195 ft) ship owned by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. It was bought by the society in 2005 and is used in direct action campaigns for marine conservation and law enforcement. Most of its service in the Society's fleet has been spent defending the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary against illegal whaling operations.
The vessel has been registered in the Netherlands as of October 8, 2007, but spends most of its time between and readying for campaigns in the Australian ports of Brisbane, Hobart and (previously) Melbourne.
After being arrested and detained in Germany, Paul Watson is back. He has joined the Steve Irwin Crew for Operation Zero to protect the lives of the whales in the Arctic Ocean. All of us at HoodLamb are more than happy that Paul Watson is out on the Sea again and wish him and all the other Sea Shepherd warriors the best of luck on their new mission!
Sea Shepherd is currently out on its 9th mission in the Arctic Oceans to protect the lives of whales at-risk. HoodLamb is more than proud to support this mission by outfitting the fleet with winterproof HoodLamb wear. Furthermore we try to generate funds through our Sea Shepherd x HoodLamb line. Part of all proceeds are donated directly to the Sea Shepherd Charity. We are very thankful to everyone that promotes and supports Sea Shepherd by wearing our Sea Shepherd x HoodLamb jackets, hoodies & tees. We just received a beautiful Thank-You note from the Bob Barker crew which we'd love to share with you as it's because of your support that we can sponsor, donate and promote the important missions from Sea Shepherd.
Letter from Sea Shepherd
Dear Team at Hemp Hoodlamb,
Thank you for your generous donation of
warm Sea Shepherd gear to our fleet, and a special thanks from the Bob
Barker. Your continued support for Sea Shepherd has not gone unnoticed.
Thank you so much for selling Sea Shepherd gear and raising money for
the cause.
Not only will your contribution provide the crew of
the Bob Barker with the equipment necessary to keep our vessel running
efficiently, it will also makes it possible for us to continue our
efforts to defend, conserve and protect marine ecosystems worldwide.
Since its beginnings in 1977, Sea Shepherd has been a leading force in marine conservation. In the past year, we have saved 768 whales in the Southern Ocean, prevented the slaughter of pilot whales in the Faeroe Islands, documented the dolphin slaughter at The Cove in Taiji, patrolled the Mediterranean for blue fin tuna poachers, set up a satellite tracking system with the capabilities to detect illegal shark finning vessel in the Galapagos and much more. This is only possible because of thoughtful contributions from people like you.
In 2012 we are continuing and expanding our efforts. As you know, the cost of protecting our oceans comes at a price but it's nothing compared to losing our greatest and most vital marine treasures. We hope for your continued support in the future.
Once again, thank you for your generous donation and commitment to protecting our seas.
