“Sea Shepherd undertook a new program in 2015 called Operation Jairo.”
“Organization ceased conducting two of its program services, the whale defense campaign and the anti-poaching campaign in Guatemala.”
“Turtle Protection Campaign - Operation Jairo (formerly Operation Pacuare) Throughout 2015. On August 15, 2014 Sea Shepherd launched Operation Pacuare in Costa Rica. The successful anti-poaching campaign included 62 volunteers local to Costa Rica and from other nations around the world. These brave volunteers saved nearly 3,000 endangered sea turtles from poachers. Over the course of the campaign, Sea Shepherd's volunteers ensured 269 leatherbacks, 1,163 green, and 1,546 hawksbill hatchlings were successfully released into the ocean - for a total of 2,978 sea turtles saved. Sea Shepherd Galapagos Since 2006, Sea Shepherd has had a permanent presence in the Galapagos. We use anti-poaching surveillance technology, legal training and police dog-sniffing inspections to protect this UNESCO World Heritage Site from poachers and wildlife traffickers. On May 8, 2014, Sea Shepherd Galapagos and the Ministry for Internal Affairs of Ecuador signed a formal agreement to continue our unique K9 Police Unit, specializing in the detection of wildlife trafficking, through 2017. Outreach & Coastal Cleanups In 2015, 15 US based local chapters conducted various outreach events at eco events, as well as local beach cleanups in the areas where chapters exist near coasts.”
