Campaign Connected & Partnered With Second Chance Sanctuary

Welcome to the Frontlines of Youth Advocacy

The vaquita porpoise is the most endangered marine mammal on Earth, with only around 10 individuals left in the wild. They are running out of time, drowning as accidental bycatch in illegal gillnets in Mexico's Gulf of California.

We are a youth-run animal sanctuary and rescue organization taking our passion from the land to the sea. We know that as a youth organization, our current reach has limits—but our collective voice and fundraising power do not.

Our Mission: Small Team, Big Impact

Right now, our immediate goal for Project 1 is simple but critical: We are rallying our community to fund the frontline defenders of the ocean. We are currently collecting donations to support a global force that has the ships, the crew, and the legal authority to protect these porpoises directly: The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Why Sea Shepherd?

Sea Shepherd works directly with the Mexican authorities in the "Zero Tolerance Area" to detect and remove illegal gillnets that threaten the vaquita. They are on the water doing the heavy lifting, and we are here to make sure they have the resources to keep going.

100% of the net proceeds we raise for Project 1 will be donated directly to Sea Shepherd's vaquita conservation efforts. By supporting us, you are directly funding the ships and crews keeping the vaquita safe from extinction.

How You Can Help Right Now

• Donate to Project 1: Every dollar you give goes straight toward fueling the ships removing illegal gillnets from the vaquita's home. c

• Spread the Word: Share our page, talk about the vaquita, and use your voice to demand an end to destructive gillnet fishing.

• Follow Our Journey: Stay tuned to see how much we raise together and get updates on our sanctuary’s future conservation projects.
