Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Its mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.

After the overwhelming success of Animal Planet's Whale Wars Season 1, featuring Captain Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd crew, nearly 1.2 million viewers tuned in for the Season 2 premiere on June 5, 2009. NBS had implemented Sea Shepherd's new e-store one month before the airing of Season 1, resulting in more e-store transactions and fulfillment processing in one month than in the entire previous year!
