We'll be posting items on this webpage about UK events and protests, how you can volunteer for us, and how you can join in with our onshore support network. Sea Shepherd UK is also working with other sympathetic organisations to help secure support for our global ocean wildlife conservation campaigns.

The End of the Line, the first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans
Filmed over two years, we see first hand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food.
