The Sea Shepherd online store is awesome. I ordered something and it arrived within two days! There is a large variety of things to choose from, and all the profits go to marine conservation. Go take a look

Anti Whaling Day

Today was Worldwide Anti Whaling Day
Feel free to contribute here http://www.antiwhalingday.org/

In Dec, Japan will be heading back down to Antarctica, aiming for the maximum kill quota! The whalers have received a boost of $27 000 000 this year. Word is there will be an extra ship protecting the fleet too. It will be full on.
Of course Sea Shepherd will be down there doing everything we can to protect the whales. Captain Watson has declared this year's campaign 'Operation Divine Wind' - Kami Kaze the most dangerous ever. He has been saying 'hoca hey' (meaning 'it's a good day to die') in recent interviews, implying he and his crew are willing to risk their lives for the whales.
The true Whale Wars are about to kick off. Please do all you can to support Sea Shepherd. Donations would be awesome!

Sea Shepherd Halloween Party

Fri 28th Oct 11
On Friday night, we had our Spooktacular Sea Shepherd Halloween Party. It was really good, everyone dressed up, we had a DJ, plus cool raffle prizes eg 'JetSki Safari!'. We raised several hundred, which was amazing, considering not many people turned up. Everyone enjoyed themselved, and that's what really counts.

 

The DJs were brought to us by Foundation Events Empire. Thanks Simon

 

I met Death lol

 

Terri the founder and Carol a valuable volunteer.

Whale Watching

Sun 23rd Oct 11
Yesterday was our big day! Whale Watching with Sea Shepherd Gold Coast! We went out with Whales in Paradise and our supporters. It was a nice, warm spring day, everyone had an enjoyable time. Well maybe not the people who got sea sick lol. We sold some merchandise, signed up new subscribers, plus I did an informative speech. We saw a few whales, not as many as I hoped, then again it is almost the end of the migration season. Soon Operation Kami Kaze (Divine Wind) will kick off, down in the Southern Oceans.

 

Animal Action Day

Sunday 16th Oct 
Animal Action Day is an annual worldwide event to raise awareness, appreciation and respect of all animals. The Gold Coast event was at Winders Park, in Currumbin. Sea Shepherd Gold Coast was invited to have a table there. A few of us went down. It was a sunny day and we had a beautiful location, by the river with paddle-boarders going past us.

 

The day was devoted to our endangered, almost extinct Aussie animal, the Bilby. Please read up about the Bilbies and help in any way you can.



By the way, Aquinas Surfing and Bodyboarding Annual has been postponed, due to bad weather.

Coolangatta Markets

Sunday 9th Oct - Coolangatta Art and Craft Market.
