You know, I'm 16 years old now but ever since I was a little kid I've admired the work you people do. I used to tell myself, one day ill be as great as all of you, one day ill make sure i continue what you have all begun. You're efforts inspire me and push me to continue my studies so I too can be great like all of you

[@ZecrOfficial]

Well said fellow environmentalist “Deer Hide” lmao maybe think about your user name, when these guys hate any type of dead animal.

[@deerhide6342]

@@ZecrOfficial hahaha very true xDD But take the username as more of a respect for the dead rather than taxidermy love.

[@majalca03]

Keep at it you guys. Don't give up.

[@aquasight1019]

Another excellent Video. The quality improves with your savior skills. Keep climbing that mountain Milagro - Thumbs Up! We look forward to your next vlog.

[@Cattharinna]

Sadly new government isn't helping, so your work its gonna become harder. But thank you. 💓💓💓💓 For those 22 vaquitas.

[@albertsandor27]

@Lena, yes, it is helping, look at this article, it's from March 04, 2020: U.S. Government Expands Mexican Seafood Ban to Save Vaquita Porpoise Shrimp, Fish from Northern Gulf of California Embargoed www.nrdc.org/media/2020/200304-0

Thank you for all you do!

[@Aqu181]

keep up the good work shepherd from new Zealand

[@canecorsomolosser3294]

I just saw couple of days ago the documentary, Sea of shadows on NGC. I was really shocked😨 and so sad that the mission not succeed. That's really tough to lose that female vaquita😢, ofcourse also Totoabe in this documentary. My deep respects for doing so much effort in a massive crime scene. Seems that even work with Mexican navy and cops doesn't work. Please keep up the good work, you all deserve a medal to my opinion. Stop all these atrocities against the weak, animals, nature. If we lose nature, we will lose our selves 😔 Please say hello to the crew and that they are true heroes for the people who support you all 💪 Amsterdam is watching

Love you all!

[@MJDahling]

Please please please save the vaquita!

[@yoshistar8889]

Good job guys keep going hopefully you can do it. Hope you can start focusing on other creatures too not just mammals. Sharks and rays are starting to need desperate help and some fish species too. Tackle the unique go for the stuff that isn’t getting funded as much. Good luck on your escapades and adventures.

[@larryzhao4875]

You can DO IT! :)

[@anthonythebeard]

i honestly had no idea how much i cared about planetary and ocean conservation/marine wildlife until i found sea shepherd and started conducting my own beach cleanups. i'm ready and willing to join the direct action crew, bar the fact that i can't swim and would sink like a rock should i ever hit a body of water. going to get swimming lessons and get really good so i can join you on one of your expeditions in the future. you will have a very smart person joining the crew in the coming missions. godspeed, fair seas. keep up the good work.

[@mellow5123]

Thank you, Sea Shepherd!

[@JoseGranny]

I was just reading about the vaquita. They're down to ten individuals because of illegal fishing.

[@canecorsomolosser3294]

Very sad conclusion indeed😟

[@splooc]

Awesome, for the oceans! Hope I can join again this summer

[@Jtwizzle]

Were you on this team? Sweet

[@stefaneer9120]

This did remember me at the #DeadliestCatch but here where did safe animals.

[@trueheartfarm8831]

Can I Barrow Al or the engineer...😉 .. but definitely cowboy Al ... I need a handler's experience for horses during trims...😍

[@robertdagamer6878]

Why do you throw the anchoress back into the ocean after you pulled in a net

[@allisonbarry720]

Question. Why do you throw the anchor back in? Isn't that pollution too?

[@ZecrOfficial]

Probably something to do with either it becoming a natural reef or most likely the anchor isn’t inherently illegal but the net is so removal of the net and taking it is legal however since the anchor being there is not illegal taking it would be theft. Not sure that’s just my best guess.

Can the world not do TWO things ASAP as stop gap measures? First, take any fresh dead animal--and harvest Ova or Sperm, and take to cyrogenic condition? And second, establish some captive breeding program? Both beat extinction by a country mile. I WILL send money for either effort, and thank you for this short film. I KNOW it may be too late, and I also know the measures you talk about are right--but I mean, can we not do either or both of the things I mentioned? Let us not watch these animals pass away from life on earth.

[@bobhuntsman]

Captive breeding can be dicey due to inbreeding issues because of limited genetic diversity and the resulting "herd weakness".

[@jimquantic]

@@bobhuntsman I know---as I said---can we not TRY both captive breeding AND genetic material harvest/storage? So I'll answer my own question--no help here. From research, I have learned-that yes, tissue harvesting HAS happened, though I have no idea if they were able to take it to cryo condition fast enough. And as to captive breeding, last I heard it was not working, at all. Not because of the problems with lack of diversity, but with the simple problem of not being able to obtain any of the mammals--and keep them alive during capture and transport.

[@jjacobamador]

How does someone join these kinds of organizations?
