25.01.2022 A new study by Dr Andrew Colefax shows SMART drumlines do not prevent sharks moving near to surf breaks. It also found that acoustic receivers often detect sharks that do not move closer to shore. We need modern shark bite mitigation solutions that protect swimmers, surfers, divers and marine life too.

25.01.2022 Our cleanup at Riverview Park on Ross River was a huge success today. A very huge thank you to the 2 families who came down to help clean, collecting a whopping 6+ bags of rubbish in total, over 400 cigarette butts, and 4 SHOPPING TROLLEYS, yes shopping trolleys (now safely returned to the nearby IGA), and a special welcome to our new volunteer Adam, who helped out immensely on his first ever clean up! Efforts are appreciated by all :)

24.01.2022 There are two cool videos in this news article that I thought I would share, and if you're like me and love whales (who doesn't right?!) you'll love them :-D Some positive news to have you heading into the weekend with a smile. Its direct action from teams of scientists, volunteers and activists that have helped whale populations bounce back from devastation. We will continue to fight on for our planet, and all the amazing creatures on it. Thank you to all the Active Volunte...ers who came to the down sized Beach Clean Up last week, your efforts are amazing!

24.01.2022 This makes me feel sick to my stomach. How can we call ourselves civilized if we continue to exploit animals in such a way. "Australians are a nation of whale lovers and our supporters right around our vast coastline are horrified and shocked by what they are seeing happening to pilot whales and these northern bottlenose whales - such highly intelligent, socially complex beings being cruelly and brutally murdered in a sea of screaming blood. If this was the practice of any a...battoir, they would be shut down immediately - Sea Shepherd Australia’s Managing Director Jeff Hansen http://ow.ly/IMem50B6Xk0 https://au.news.yahoo.com/truck-dumps-unwanted-animals-into

21.01.2022 Queensland’s Shark Control Program drumlines have caught their second whale in four days at North Stradbroke Island / Minjerribah. This is the sixth whale direc...tly endangered by lethal shark control gear this year. Eyewitness, Dr Paul Saffigna, Former Associate Professor and Foundation Head of the Graduate School of Environmental Sciences and Engineering Griffith University, and Former Associate Professor, School of Agronomy and Horticulture at The University of Queensland, was standing at key observation points at Point Lookout for much of the whale’s more than three-hour ordeal.

20.01.2022 The impact of the Wakashio oil spill is truely devastating but people are rising up to demand better responses from leaders to this Mauritius oil spill disaster. There needs to be a proper investigation and accountability. Is the deliberate and secretive sinking of the ship an international crime?

17.01.2022 Tune in for a Senate Inquiry into the impact of seismic testing on fisheries and the marine environment this morning at 9 am AEST http://ow.ly/Wlwm50BxhR0 Sea Shepherd Australia's Managing Director Jeff Hansen will be giving evidence.

17.01.2022 > From Sea Shepherd Australia A 130-metre long shark net has been missing from Harbour Beach in Mackay since at least Tuesday. At this stage, nobody knows what has happened to the net, but there are only a few things big and strong enough to dislodge such a large apparatus, and we fear that a whale may be caught. ... Whale entanglements in Queensland’s fishing gear are a direct consequence of leaving nets in the humpbacks' migration path. In 2018, volunteers from our Apex Harmony Campaign - Sea Shepherd Global found a shark net completely torn in half, most likely by a whale, in the same spot. As whales complete their annual mass migration back to the waters of Antarctica, we urgently need these deadly nets removed. Take action now >> https://bit.ly/32UTsJx #NetsOutNow

14.01.2022 France is set to ban the captivity of whales and dolphins, adding itself to the small but growing list of countries putting the welfare of the animals higher th...an the need for human entertainment. It's a true victory for whales and dolphins, and adds further pressure on countries who have yet to establish a ban. #EmptyTheTanks

12.01.2022 Meet the Sam Simon Deck Team One of the best things about being a ‘deckhand’ on the Sam Simon is the diversity of jobs performed and the adventurous nature ...of the work. The deck team can be called on at anytime, day or night, to assist with actions such as launching and driving our fast RHIB's for boardings and arrests. Have you ever thought about joining the ships crew? Find out more here: http://ow.ly/8zvC50B48GT Tara Lambourne / Sea Shepherd

12.01.2022 A dugong which drowned in a Queensland Shark Net has since washed up on a beach with chain around it's tail. The chain is how authorities had attempted to weigh... the animals body down, however strong currents have brought this animals body from the ocean to where people can now see some of the senseless cruelty this Shark Control Program causes. Public safety is a priority of the Shark Control Program and due care is taken to avoid deceased animals washing up on beaches, a department spokesperson said. Deceased animals may pose a public health risk or attract sharks to beaches, which is why they are weighed down and disposed of out to sea. #NetsOutNow #OpApexHarmony

07.01.2022 We have known for some time now that microplastics are in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and that they exist within the food chain, but this new study ...shows that it can found in human organs. Tissue was taken from kidneys, livers, lungs, and spleens four organs that are thought likely to be exposed to, filter, or accumulate microplastic particles. The team found plastic contamination was present in every tissue sample that they analysed. #StemtheTide https://metro.co.uk//tiny-particles-plastic-have-found-in/
