Operation Blue Rage was a major success in the Mediterranean Sea. Another success is the sprouting up of new Sea Shepherd groups in Italy, Monaco, and Spain. To welcome these new groups to the Sea Shepherd family, and to give a chance to our hardworking volunteers and supporters to see one of their ships up close and meet the crew, the Steve Irwin will be open for tours in Barcelona throughout the month of August 2010.

In September, the Steve Irwin will cast off on an 8,000 nautical mile journey to Australia, via the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, in order to prepare for our 2010-2011 Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign: Operation No Compromise.

Come and show your support by meeting the crew of the Steve Irwin in Barcelona; we would be happy to have you aboard for a tour!
