OUR CONSERVATION PARTNER

Poseidon Ascend & Sea Shepherd

Poseidon Ascend proudly supports Sea Shepherd Conservation Society — a global non-profit marine conservation organization committed to defending ocean wildlife and enforcing international conservation laws. The ocean is not a playground. It is a living ecosystem under pressure. From illegal fishing and marine poaching to habitat destruction and species extinction, our oceans face unprecedented challenges. Sea Shepherd operates on the front lines — deploying ships, crews, and volunteers to actively intervene where enforcement is absent or ineffective.

Freediving with marine life

THE PHILOSOPHY

Why This Matters to Us

Freediving is not just a sport. It is a relationship with the ocean. Poseidon Ascend was built on respect for marine life, ecosystems, and the delicate balance that allows us to explore underwater environments safely and responsibly. Supporting Sea Shepherd aligns directly with our philosophy:

  • ✓ Conservation before consumption
  • ✓ Action over awareness
  • ✓ Responsibility over exploitation

We believe that those who experience the ocean have a duty to protect it.

DIRECT ACTION

On the Front Lines of Conservation

Sea Shepherd vessels operate globally to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, protect endangered marine species, safeguard marine reserves, and partner with governments to enforce conservation laws. Their work is direct, strategic, and often physically demanding — protecting marine ecosystems that cannot defend themselves.
