Sea Shepherd is an international marine conservation organisation that has been actively protecting the oceans through direct campaigns at sea for more than 40 years. For some years now, its main focus has been on the fight against illegal fishing. Sea Shepherd Austria organises information stands, can be found at various trade fairs and regularly carries out clean-ups on rivers and lakes.

 

Sea Shepherd Austria is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, which will be commemorated on November 24th. Captain Alex Cornelissen, CEO of Sea Shepherd Global, and Captain Peter Hammarstedt, Director of Campaigns at Sea Shepherd Global, will also be in attendance. Employees from the Sustainability Office of the University of Vienna and information from the UniNEtZ sponsorship for SDG 14 will also be on site.

It will be an evening full of inspiring films, stimulating discussions and informative presentations. There will be the opportunity to learn about their mission and achievements first hand.

The programme includes short talks, film screenings, discussions, Q&As, an auction of equipment from the ships and a buffet.
