The #ocean needs us - now more than ever❗

That's why this year, we're back with another #FitForTheOcean Challenge:
Run, swim, bike, stretch, dive, surf, skate – whatever moves you – and turn your passion into action #fortheocean.

How❓
1️⃣ Pick your sport
2️⃣ Start a Fundraiser through our website (link in our bio)
3️⃣ Share your journey
--> Help us protect the ocean

When❓
From the 26th of May to the 26th of June. See you then! Together #ForTheOcean.

Are you ready❓
If so, leave a 🌊 in the comments and tag someone who should know about this!
Sea Shepherd
Think poachers take a break? Neither do we! A mission-ready ship doesn’t happen by itself—though that would be nice. Refit is the hard work that makes every campaign possible. So, we grind, weld, and fine-tune until the #SeaEagle is ready to take on #illegalfishing again, because protecting the #MedSea starts long before we set sail. ⛴️💪

If you were part of the crew, what job would you take on? Drop an emoji that fits! ⚓🔧🎨👇

Sitting at the top of an ancient sea mountain encircling a beautiful tropical lagoon, our azure waters are home to an incredible array of diverse marine life including tropical #fish, #corals, #turtles, #MantaRays and #dolphins.

Please join us in calling for strong management plans to protect our islands from destructive threats like #IllegalFishing, and the growing pressures the world’s oceans increasingly face.
