The Sea Shepherd vessel, the ‘MV Steve Irwin’ has been in in our local waters during March surveying some of the most beautiful waters and diverse marine life on the planet (humbly offered in my opinion).

She spent Easter in port at Port Adelaide where we got the chance to tour the vessel, meet the crew, listen to stories and talk about the important work they all do as volunteers. It is no coincidence the MV Steve Irwin being here now as both our local and federal governments actively promote oil and gas exploration in these pristine waters.

The message for us this Easter was a very different one and I am so grateful for organisations like Sea Shepherd and the selfless volunteers who make our beautiful planet matter.
