The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a non-profit environmental organization based in Friday Harbor, Washington in the United States and in Melbourne, Australia for its Southern Hemisphere operations. Members undertake questionably legal campaigns that the society says are guided by the United Nations World Charter for Nature and other statutory laws protecting marine species and environments. The United Nations World Charter for Nature though not a law of any sort and certainly not legally binding gives their actions some semblance of legitimacy. This really does not work in their favor since the rest of the world sees them as a fairly silly organization and their best attribute is their similarity to pirates. In their favor though is the fact that if one takes the United Nations World Charter for Nature as legal law between the countries that ratified it, this makes Sea Shepherd something like eco vigilantes which is the sort of cool image this chronically boring organization really needs.
