In 2024, Sea Shepherd worked hard to defend marine life by removing illegal fishing nets and protecting endangered species. They increased patrols in the Vaquita Refuge, conducted nighttime missions against black market fishing, and focused on combating krill overfishing in Antarctica. The organization documented whale hunts to raise awareness and improved their vessels to better address illegal fishing activities. Their efforts demonstrated significant progress in conservation and emphasized the importance of ongoing support for marine wildlife protection.
