Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has a VEGAN FOOD POLICY on board all ships.

The ships are crewed mostly with VOLUNTEERS who have not been to sea before.

The salary is on the lower end of the pay scale, as we run solely on donations. SSCS is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the protection, defence and conservation of all marine wildlife.

We currently have 11 vessels worldwide all dedicated to marine conservation. This is really a job for someone who is not looking for a big salary job but to literally help save the vaquita dolphin, hammerheads, turtles, etc.
