## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

**The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** 

**The objectives of Sea Shepherd UK, as set out in the Memorandum of Association, are to conserve and protect the UK's and the world's marine ecosystems, habitats, and species. Sea Shepherd UK may also engage in conservation activities to protect freshwater habitats and species.** 

**The organisation endeavours to accomplish these goals through public education, investigation, documentation and, where appropriate (and where legal authority exists under international law or under agreement of national governments) to help enforce violations of international treaties, laws and conventions designated to protect the oceans. All of Sea Shepherd UK's campaigns to defend marine wildlife or habitats are guided by the United Nations World Charter for Nature or other applicable national or international conservation laws, treaties, and regulations.** 

**The charity exists to secure funding for marine conservation projects and to engage in campaigns and actions primarily in UK coastal waters and the North Atlantic region. It is also the charity's goal to engage in outreach to members of the public via talks, presentations, and events to educate people about marine conservation issues.** 

**Funding is secured mainly from individual donors, company partnership agreements, trusts, legacies and occasionally via fund-raising events. Education and outreach are achieved through attendance with information stands at events across the UK and by visiting clubs, societies, universities, colleges, and schools to give presentations about marine conservation issues and the charity's campaigns.** 

## **Public benefit** 

**Sea Shepherd UK has referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. The Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.** 

**Sea Shepherd UK works towards our goal of marine conservation by protecting threatened marine wildlife, investigating, and reporting illegal poaching of marine mammals, fish, birds, and many other species and by campaigning to protect fragile marine habitats. The Charity achieves these goals by engaging in outreach, education, with publicity/media and by undertaking conservation campaigns and actions. Sea Shepherd's campaigns are to the benefit of the UK's and world's population since protecting and restoring the oceans ensures fo d security for future generations and a healthy environment for all life on planet Earth, noting our oceans are the greatest natural source of global oxygen production while also providing the largest atmospheric carbon sink allowing all life to survive. Protecting the health of the oceans, ecosystems, habitats, and all ocean wildlife for the world's future generations is the primary goal of Sea Shepherd.** 

**Outreach events and educational talks by Sea Shepherd UK are open to all members of the public, no limitations are put on people who may volunteer with Sea Shepherd UK or attend outreach events, less instances where the Trustees believe there is a risk that any individual may intend to break any national law or otherwise where any individual may be assessed as liable to bring the Charity into disrepute by virtue of inappropriate behaviour, including particularly any racist acts or religious or other hate speech of any kind.**

## **SEA SHEPHERD UK** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

**Sea Shepherd UK has continued to build on and improve our outreach and educational activities undertaken at both closed and public events, universities, schools and clubs in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Sea Shepherd UK acts entirely within the laws of the UK (and other relevant national legislation where the charity operates). Sea Shepherd UK cooperates with law enforcement and all government authorities when required and has no court rulings or ongoing legal proceedings against the charity, company or trading subsidiary.** 

## **Grant making** 

**Grants payable are monies paid to Sea Shepherd Global, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and Sea Shepherd Scandinavia. These are linked charities based in Amsterdam and USA undertaking similar charitable activities and there are other linked charities with regard to other Sea Shepherds across the world.** 

## **Strategic Objectives for Year 2020/2021** 

**The strategic objectives for Sea Shepherd UK during the year 2020/2021 were to raise awareness of current marine conservation issues (both in UK territorial waters and internationally), to investigate, document and expose to the media and/or relevant agencies issues facing marine wildlife. Sea Shepherd UK also engages in campaigns when required to protect marine wildlife around the UK and North Atlantic region while also actively restoring coastal waters by removing marine debris and lost/discarded fishing gear which may harm marine wildlife.** 

**The Charity also aims to positively influence changes in behaviour of the public, companies, and policy makers by promoting ethical and beneficial changes which benefit both the marine environment and the human population. Sea Shepherd UK also liaises with environmental, legal, regulatory and enforcement agencies as necessary when planning and engaging in campaigns around the UK's coastline.** 

**Sea Shepherd UK also provides funding via grants, specialist equipment, small boats or practical assistance for marine conservation projects and campaigns by similar charities and NGOs which conform with Sea Shepherd UK's mandate and ongoing campaigns.** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

**Presentations and educational talks were given at a variety of events, clubs, societies and institutions around the UK and the charity has 20 Regional Coordinators working with 32 Senior Volunteers who have the skills and knowledge to support our increasing talks, events and conservation activities to reach a wider audience and to help manage our team of around 280 volunteers primarily in England but also in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Shetland and Orkney.** 

**With a steadily growing supporter base and more experienced volunteers than in any previous year, the charity attended local events where COVID-19 restrictions allowed, including attendance at scuba diving, vegan, vegetarian, environmental, ethical and green living fairs, music, artistic and other events as well as organising dozens of volunteer-led public beach cleans around England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.** 

**Sea Shepherd UK continued and expanded on our three major campaigns, trialled two further actions (which may in tum lead to new campaigns) during the financial year and continued to build on our collaboration with Scuba Diving International (SDI/TDI) on our world-first fully accredited Ghostnet Recovery speciality diver course with Sea Shepherd UK also becoming a registered SDI/TDI dive centre (a first for any marine conservation charity)**

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED30 JUNE 2021** 

## **Sea Shepherd UK's Ghostnet Campaign** 

**Recovering ghost nets and other lost/discarded hazardous fishing gear which indiscriminately kills marine wildlife for hundreds of years.** 

**Every year around 630,000 tonnes of fishing gear such as lines, discarded nets, pots and other fishing industry gear are lost or discarded into the oceans and this already shocking figure is increasing.** 

**This marine debris is known as 'Ghost Gear' because of its ability to continue killing wildlife long after the fishing boats have left it behind. Around the UK this lost and discarded fishing gear is the second largest source of marine debris with over 1250 kilometres of nets alone being lost in UK waters each year.** 

**There are many reasons that fishing gear is lost or discarded at sea:** 

**1. Entanglement with other vessels gear, snagging on wrecks or on natural topography such as reefs and rocks** 

**2. Fishing nets and lines breaking loose or having to be cut free for vessel safety reasons** 

**3. Risky deployment in poor sea conditions** 

- **4, Illegal discarding of unwanted fishing gear while at sea to avoid safe disposal costs back on shore.** 

**Once lost or discarded, sections of fishing net and other fishing equipment can drift through the ocean or be left snagged on wrecks, rocks and reefs indiscriminately killing marine wildlife for decades.** 

## **How Sea Shepherd UK helps:** 

**Since January 2018 Sea Shepherd UK's Ghostnet campaign has used our highly experienced volunteer divers with Sea Shepherd UK's rigid inflatable boats (primarily Shadow, Phantom and Ghost) to survey UK coastal waters looking for discarded fishing gear (DFG) who recover all for safe disposal or recycling where possible. The divers are deployed to a potential or reported ghost gear site on one of Sea Shepherd UK's RHIBs where underwater 3D scanners pinpoint wrecks and sites to dive. Our crew look for wrecks located particularly near intensive netting and creel fishing areas as the equipment often becomes snagged on wrecks and rocks. Sea Shepherd divers also check nearby areas as the water currents can move the ghost gear along the seabed to other underwater features where it may become entangled.** 

**The campaign divers survey the wrecks to ensure that any nets or post can be removed safely and have not been down there so long as to have formed a habitat for marine life. Enormous care is taken not to damage the wrecks. Sea Shepherd UK works within the regulations and guidance of the Maritime Management Organisation (MMO), Natural England and Historic England who have approved our method statements and the charity obtain official permits whenever applicable.** 

**Sea Shepherd UK has been expanding the Ghostnet campaign during 2021 and has now acquired a dedicated I I metre Offshore I 05 dive boat named 'Spectre' which once upgraded will be based on the Northeast coast of England as there is a particular problem with lost creel pots and related fishing lines and ropes on the many wrecks around the coast (an issue the charity's crew have been working on during 2021 using the smaller boats 'Shadow' and 'Ghost').**

## **SEA SHEPHERD UK** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## **Sea Shepherd UK's SDI accredited Ghostnet Recovery course Training divers to safely and responsibly clean our coastal waters** 

**To support our Ghostnet campaign, our charity teamed up in 2018 with training agency Scuba Diving International (SDI) to offer the world's first fully accredited speciality course in Ghostnet Recovery on a non-profit basis to encourage more divers to join our campaign and get involved in cleaning up our coastal waters.** 

**The specialist course lasts two days and includes four dives with theory classes in between. Candidates need to be qualified to SDI Advanced Adventurer or equivalent level, be over 21 and able to show that they have carried out at least I 00 logged dives.** 

**Working with SDI means that the charity can ensure that all our divers remain as safe as possible in challenging conditions, that our boats and crew are properly insured and recognised for ghost gear recovery, and that all ghost gear is removed with no impact on the marine environment or underwater archaeology.** 

## **Sea Shepherd UK's Marine Debris Campaign** 

## **Beach cleans around England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland** 

**Recent estimates state that there are 86 million tonnes of plastic in the oceans - more than 5 trillion pieces with most being less than 5mm in size. Human activity adds 8 million tonnes to this total every year, with plastic particles outnumbering plankton by 26 to I in some areas of the ocean. In 30 years, if humans carry on this way, the weight of plastic in the oceans will be greater than the weight of fish.** 

**Often the only time people come face to face with marine debris is when walking along the beach, but what they do not often see is the damage that litter and discarded fishing gear does to wildlife. On campaigns all around the world, Sea Shepherd volunteers see the terrible effects of marine debris and plastics on sea birds, turtles, whales, dolphins and fish.** 

## **How Sea Shepherd UK helps:** 

**Our Marine Debris Campaign is part of a global effort by the Sea Shepherd movement around the world to bring volunteers and members of the public together to undertake beach cleans in their local area. Beach cleans are an excellent opportunity for people to witness first-hand the effects their everyday choices as consumers have on our most valuable natural resource, the oceans.** 

**Sea Shepherd UK encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to join us for a few hours to clean an area of local beach, examine the findings and talk about how everyone present can encourage others to reduce their impact on our beaches. Sea Shepherd UK's volunteers then ensure that the collected rubbish is disposed of responsibly, often in cooperation with local councils or it is recycled where possible.**

## **SEA SHEPHERD UK** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## **Operation Bloody Fjords** 

**Documenting and exposing the cruel and unnecessary grindadrap drive hunts of Pilot Whales and Dolphins in the Faroe Islands** 

**Every year in the Faroe Islands around 850 small cetaceans, primarily long finned pilot whales and Atlantic white-sided dolphins are massacred in drive hunts called grindadrap in Faroese. The 'grind' as the hunts are commonly called, can happen at any time at any one of the 26 designated killing bays around the islands, with most of the hunts statistically occurring between July and September.** 

**The grindadrap hunts have no season, no quota and the Faroese rarely do not authorise a hunt when a pod is spotted, unless the weather or sea conditions are too hazardous for their boats. Every member of the pod is killed including pregnant mothers and young calves.** 

**The grind would be totally illegal under UK and European Union legislation, because in the EU (including the kingdom of Denmark, of which the Faroe Islands is a part) it is not only illegal to kill pilot whales but illegal to harass, stress, chase or touch any whales or small cetaceans.** 

**The Senior Veterinarian at the Faroe Veterinary Service calculated the average duration of killing during grindadrap hunts at 12.7 minutes, and Sea Shepherd crew often record killing at grindadrap taking over 20 minutes.** 

**In 2008, an article in the New Scientist told how Faroese chief medical officers deemed whale meat unsafe for human consumption because of high mercury content. They detailed how mercury poisoning could trigger a range of ailments including foetal neural development, high blood pressure, circulatory problems, and possible infertility.** 

## **How Sea Shepherd UK helps:** 

**Sea Shepherd UK sent 13 crew in 2020 over two months to the Faroe Islands to record and document the whaling practices taking place, in order to expose the cruelty inherent in the grindadrap and to document, then report, the hunts to the world given no other campaign groups send their volunteers or crewmembers to the islands.** 

**In 2021 Sea Shepherd UK launched our 6th campaign in the Faroe Islands (Sea Shepherd's 13th campaign) using primarily Danish and Scandinavian volunteers, due to local restrictions regarding COVID-19, where our crew and local collaborators documented a series of long finned pilot whale and dolphin hunts and generated significant UK and foreign media interest around the issue.** 

## **Sea Shepherd UK raising public awareness and education:** 

**Sea Shepherd UK continues to increase our supporter base and followers, working to engage more people in our work and increase our funding support. The charity currently shares our campaign news, activities, and events via its website, Adobe portfolio pages and various social media pages.** 

**The charity is also improving our Education Project which was launched officially in August 2020 with dedicated web pages designed for Key Stages I to 4 teachers and students showcasing both teacher resources and student self-led activities. The project is also being linked to our Marine Debris Campaign providing beach litter picking equipment to schools in Scotland with equipment designed for children so they can participate in staff supervised beach, riverbank or other local cleans. The project also includes plans to provide schools with talks, materials, and potentially field trips to the coast to meet with Sea Shepherd UK coordinators to talk about marine conservation, plastic, and other hazardous pollution such as ghost fishing gear.**

## **SEA SHEPHERD UK** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

Other achievements in 2020/2021 also included: 

- Promoting our activities and campaigns as a member of the Green Britain Partnership Group which includes conservation groups, eco/ethical companies from many industry sectors as well as through our partnership with the acclaimed ethical, vegan, and sustainable f tball club 'Forest Green Rovers'. 

- Sea Shepherd UK continues to offer our reward for information leading to the successful conviction of individuals or groups for specific crimes against marine wildlife set at £5000 for information leading to the successful prosecution of any individuals or companies who kill protected or endangered marine wildlife in UK territorial waters. Increasing our network of contacts in the conservation movement to build future collaborations and increase our resources and expertise in various conservation tasks, research, marine mammal rescues and educational outreach. 

Sea Shepherd UK also continues to provide expertise and/or financial support for a range of international marine conservation projects or ocean-going vessels which are managed by various independent Sea Shepherd entities or other organisations which meet Sea Shepherd UK's ethical and/or conservation aims. 

## **COVID-19 effect on the operations of the charity and trading subsidiary:** 

The COYID-19 pandemic with various lockdowns and travel restrictions affected many of our charity's activities, cancelled virtually all our events for 2020 and delayed campaign action in 2020 and imposed some restrictions on activities in 2021. However, Sea Shepherd UK's supporters have continued to be amazing both donating and fundraising for us during the last two years. 

Our UK volunteers have increased their beach cleaning activities despite limitations on public participation. Our boats 'Shadow' and 'Ghost' have been deployed on ghost gear (ghostnet) assessment and recovery duties while boats 'Siren' and 'Phantom' are now together working and supporting training activities in the North of England and Southern Scotland. Both Siren and Phantom have also been loaned to a Marine Mammal Rescue organisation to train medics for marine mammal strandings and large whale entanglements. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position** 

Sea Shepherd UK is committed to optimising our operating costs while growing and developing our charity, while also increasing revenue to allow maximum financial benefit for the marine conservation campaigns, projects, and outreach education which the charity manages or supports. As a result, the Trustees and staff work continue to work from home while over 340 volunteers assist in supporting a diverse range of campaign actions, events, training, education, and outreach activities. 

The financial activities of group are as set out in the attached financial statements. During the period under review, the overall income was £1,031,167 (2020: £543,999) and overall expenditure was £612,554 (2020: £534,600) resulting in net income of £418,613 (2020: £9,399 net income). The total of the accumulated Unrestricted General Fund at 30 June 2021 was £755,088 (2020: £336,475). 

Sea Shepherd UK (charity) is the sole shareholder of a charitable trading company called 'Sea Shepherd UK Trading Ltd' which is administered by its own board of unpaid Directors and from which merchandising profits are donated to Sea Shepherd UK (charity). 

Shepherd UK Trading Ltd has donated significant profits to Sea Shepherd UK during the financial year as well as continuing to invest in physical stock to supply increased sales. The trading company now utilises the services of a major fulfilment centre based in Northamptonshire and has increased its range of ethical and environmentally friendly Sea Shepherd logo merchandise items. Sea Shepherd UK Trading Ltd supplies merchandise to Sea Shepherd UK's volunteer lead outreach events and raises funds via a successful new Shopify powered webstore.

**Sea Shepherd UK at times supports vessels operated by other Sea Shepherd entities by providing grants for maintenance and on occasion paying directly for repairs to vessels. Sea Shepherd UK also may provide specialist safety or personal protective equipment, boat or ship parts manufactured or prepared in the UK when specifically approved by the board.** 

**During 2020 AND 2021 Sea Shepherd UK provided support for our volunteer chapter based in Northern Ireland with educational materials.** 

**The process of restricting costs and improving structure by utilising skills from an increasingly talented volunteer base continues. Sea Shepherd UK continues our policy of not paying for dedicated office space and has negotiated discounts whenever possible while engaging the services of One Blue Marble (a specialist charity development consultancy).** 

**Sea Shepherd UK continues to seek to encourage more pro-bono work from our valued volunteer base and from supporters including our Honorary Patron, Honorary Ambassadors, and our Board of Advisors.** 

**Sea Shepherd UK is represented on a modern website which has been designed and maintained by Omonix Technology (UK, USA & Australia) while a changeover to Wintercorn (a specialist provider based in Norfolk, UK) is in progress. Sea Shepherd UK has a secure and dedicated website on its own server backed up to an encrypted cloud server. Sea Shepherd also utilises secure online form submission platform and database and is fully UK-GDPR compliant.** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

**The charity continues to be reliant on donations and legacies from both individuals and institutions together with income raised from fundraising events and dividends from its wholly owned merchandising subsidiary.** 

## **Investment policy** 

**The present investment policy is to maximise interest earned on short to medium term deposits offered by the charity's bankers. The trustees do not consider that current or projected levels of unrestricted cash reserves require a longer-term investment strategy.** 

## **Reserves policy** 

**The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity and Sea Shepherd UK maintains a £60,000 reserve on account.** 

**While the charity does not own premises or land or deal in investments - it has significant physical assets in the form of boats, trailers, vehicles, and specialist equipment used in the typical day-to-day operations of the charity which includes the following:** 

**'SHADOW' Humber Ocean Pro 7.5m RHIB Asset value:** £23,000

## **'PHANTOM'** 

**Humber Destroyer 5.8m RHIB Asset Value: £ 12,500** 

## **Plus two support and boat trailer towing and launching vehicles:** 

**Yr.2014 Toyota Hilux Value: £11,000**

The trustees are satisfied with this position.** 

## **Going concern** 

**The charity and group has cash resources and has no requirement for external funding. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity and group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's or group's ability to continue as a goi�g concern.** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

**Planning for 2021-2022 regarding events and outreach is expected to be unpredictable due to COVID19 and the latest omicron variant. Therefore, Sea Shepherd UK will aim to become far more active on a local level with our coordinators and volunteers engaging on patrols and mini campaigns within their regions. Sea Shepherd UK will be working on localised illegal fishing/poaching, marine debris removal from 'Source to Sea', investigating industrial pollution and more ... while developing and finding new partnerships with other NGOs/charities.** 

**Sea Shepherd UK will continue our determination to bring about the end of the Faroese grindadrap and we will return in 2022 for a major campaign for 6 months with more Danish and Scandinavian crew joining our UK and EU veteran crew with new equipment and professional media teams.**

SEA SHEPHERD UK
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF
SEA SHEPHERD UK
We identified and assessed The risks of material misstatement of ihe financial statements from
irregularitie& whether due to fraud or error, and discussed ihese between our audit team members. We
then designed and perforned audit procedures responsive to those ri$ks. includin8 obtainin8 audit
evidence sufficieni and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Weare notres￿nsible for preventin8 non-comp11ance￿d Car￿01beeXFÉcted lode￿t non•compliance
with all laws and regulations
this respoThsibility lie5 Whth management with the oversight of the
Trnstees.
Based on our understanding of thecharity and industry, discussions with management and directors we
identified fina￿la1 reporting standards ind Charity SORP ￿ Iwving a diwt effect on the amounts And
disclosures in the finarKial staiements.
As part of the en8a8ement team discussion about how and wherethecharity's financial ststements may
be ma*rially misstated due to fraud. we did M)1 identify any areas wilh an increased risk of fraLMI.
Our audii procedures included:
mpleting a risk-asse$5ment pr0¢¢55 during our plannin8 for this ludit thai specifically
¢onsid¢r¢d the risk of fraud;
enquiry of Tnanagerncnt about the Charity's polieiffj procedures and related Controls re8ardin8
cornpliance with laws and regulations and if there are any known insian¢¢s of non-cornpliance-
examining supporting documents for all material balance4 transactions and di5c105ures:
review, whue applic&ble, of ihe Board ofTrustees' minutes.
enquiry of mana8ement. about litiBations and claims and inspe￿10￿ of relevant Corresponde￿e
analytical procedures lo identify any unwal or uneXp￿ted r¢lationships'
specific audit testing on and review of arus thai wuld be subject to mana8ement override of
controls and potential bia5. most notably around the key judgments and estimates, including ¢he
caryin8 value of accruals fixed &ssets and stocl and recoverability of irade debtors..
considering management override of controls outside of the nomial operating cy¢les including
testing the apprOpri￿eneSS of journal entries recorded in the general ledger and other
adjustments made in the preF4raiion of ihe financial sthtements in¢ludin8 evaluating the
business rntionale of Significant tranS￿li0n$. outside the normal course of business.
Owin8 to the inherent limitations of an audit, Ihere is an ￿aVOIdable risk that some material
mi55ts1¢ments ofth¢ fJThancial staternents rnay notbedeteetrf even though theaudit is properly planned
and perfornied in acwrdanc¢ with lh¢ ISAS (UK).
The potential effets of knherent limitation5 are partieularly significant in the case of misstatement
resul¢ing frorn fraud because frdud may involve sophisticated and car¢fully organized scheme5 desi8ned
io conceal it, including delibern¢e failure to re¢ord transactions. collusion or intentional
misrepresentations being made to us.
Laws and ffgulations of direct stgnifjcance in the context of the parent and group include Th¢
Companies Act 2006, and guidance issued by ihe Charities Commissi¢m for En8land and Wates.
