Sea Shepherd's Black Sea Event - a fun & informative fundraising cocktail function to be held at the Hilton Hotel on Friday 19th February.
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) - the international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organisation whose 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.
I'm sure you will have heard or viewed much of the wide media coverage in recent months documenting Sea Shepherd's active campaigns against illegal Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean off Antarctica, including clashes on the high seas between Sea Shepherd's vessels (the Steve Irwin, the Ady Gil and the Bob Barker) and the Japanese whaling fleet - particularly the sinking of the high-tech trimaran speedboat, the Ady Gil, by one of the Japanese whaling boats during an interception last month.
Mr Ady Gil, the Ady Gil ship’s benefactor who helped acquire the vessel, will be special guest speaker at the Black Sea Event. There will also be entertainment, an auction (with great items on offer), plus games and prizes ... and all proceeds of course go to a great cause!
Tickets for the event cost $50 for adults and $25 for children and can be purchased on line via Green Tix - http://www.greentix.com.au/
