Sea Shepherd Fleet: SEAHAWK I & SEAHAWK 2

Seahawk I and Seahawk II are high-speed patrol boats used by Sea Shepherd in the Vaquita Refuge, located in Mexico’s Gulf of California. These 27-foot vessels are crucial for monitoring illegal fishing activities that threaten the critically endangered vaquita porpoise. The boats enable swift responses and logistic support for Navy inspectors and other officials. Their presence has helped reduce illegal fishing incidents, playing a vital role in the preservation of marine life in protected areas.
