SEA SHEPHERD & GLOBAL OCEANS
Living Ocean has partnered with Sea Shepherd to conduct joint science and data research in remote locations otherwise inaccessible to everyday research.
.
While engaged in activities in our southern oceans and the Southern Ocean Sanctuary zone, we partnered to study poorly-understood whale abundances in the Southern Ocean.
We also investigated the extent of plastic pollution in the Antarctic by studying the ingestion of plastics by marine life caught or entangled in fishing gear. In collaboration with Sea Shepherd’s ‘Operation Icefish’ Living Ocean scientists Colette Harmsen, Bia Figueiredo and Jake Parker aboard the Sam Simon dissected and studied dead Patagonian and Antarctic toothfish, seabirds and other marine life that had fallen foul of illegal toothfish fishing in international Antarctic waters.
The Living Ocean Fund has also donated to Sea Shepherd to assist its activities in Timor Leste with the Ocean Warrior to help document illegal poaching of sharks and fish stocks in its territorial waters.
