Sea Shepherd is known for direct action—bold, uncompromising campaigns on the frontlines of ocean conservation. Now it’s your turn to take action!

Join the Fit for the Ocean Challenge from May 26 to June 26, and turn your own fitness goals into a force for marine protection. Whether you’re running a trail, swimming laps, kayaking your local river, or simply walking your favorite path, every drop of sweat helps raise critical funds for Sea Shepherd’s campaigns to stop illegal and destructive fishing practices, protect fragile marine habitats, and defend ocean wildlife.

This is your mission—no ship required.

Here's how to get started:

• Choose your activity: Run or hike 20k, bike 40k, swim 10k, kayak 15k—or pick something else that moves you.


• Create your fundraising page here in just a few minutes to get your personal challenge link to share with friends, family, and colleagues.


• Spread the word: Share your personal fundraising link and updates using #fitfortheocean on Instagram to join the global movement—and get entered to win awesome prizes. The more you raise for the ocean, the bigger the rewards!


• Track your progress (optional): Log your activities on the free Kamoot website and follow Sea Shepherd to see the full wave of action.

By taking part in the Fit for the Ocean Challenge, you're raising both funds and awareness for Sea Shepherd's direct-action efforts to protect life in our oceans.
