Sea Shepherd would like to keep pressure on the Japanese Whalers with help

[Annces]

We have found the key to stopping the slaughter of the whales,” said Captain Watson. “We need to keep the whalers on the run from the beginning of the whaling season until the end. I am going to work to secure a second ship by the end of the year. We need to send out two ships, the second to depart three weeks after the first and then the first to return three weeks later to relieve the second. We have the will to make this happen, we just need to find the way to make it happen.”

Captain Watson said that he is willing to return this season with the Steve Irwin if there is sponsorship for a full load of fuel. The Steve Irwin also needs repairs done to one of its main engines and the ship needs some replacement crew.



The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Needs Your Help to Return to the Southern Oceans to Defend the Whales from Illegal Japanese Whalers


Crew Needed:

For long Hours, cold weather, dangerous mission, spartan vegetarian meals, rough seas, icebergs, whalers, high seas pursuits, and the satisfaction of saving the lives of hundreds of whales.

We need volunteers with the following skills:

Shore Engineers to help repair one of the main engines in Port
Diesel Engineers
Navigators
A Medical Officer
Cooks
A Computer Expert
Photographer
Some Passionate unskilled volunteers

We also need to secure the following:

200 tons of fuel:
Supporters can sponsor a ton for $800, a half ton for $400, a quarter ton for $200.
We need 15 barrels of oil. Supporters can sponsor a barrel for $400.

We need all the vegetarian food we can get - canned, dried, frozen.


The ship will arrive in Melbourne on February 2nd and will return as soon as we secure the fuel and complete repairs.

The Japanese whalers have two months of killing time left. We've stopped them for three weeks and we can stop them again and every day that we stop them from killing whales is a victory.
