Dear John,

Bert Provisor, 92, wasn’t a household name. He wasn’t a multi-millionaire. But what he did in life, and what he left behind, will help protect the ocean for generations.

Bert first supported Sea Shepherd in 1981, and decades later, he made the extraordinary decision to leave his modest estate. We are honored and humbled by his action. 

Because of Bert, our ships are intercepting poachers, protecting sea turtles and octopus, and defending endangered species in some of the most dangerous waters on Earth.

He’s not alone. Other supporters, including Bob Barker, who funded not one but two vessels, continue to power this movement long after they’ve passed on. There’s something deeply meaningful about that. 

When someone includes Sea Shepherd in their will, they join their legacy with ours, carrying their compassion forward to protect marine life for the next generation. 

This Make-A-Will Month, we honor the profound gift of legacy giving. Whether you name Sea Shepherd as a beneficiary or designate a portion of your estate, your action ensures we remain on the front lines, protecting marine wildlife and confronting illegal fishing for generations to come.

If you’re based in the United States, we’re incredibly grateful to share that you can easily create or update your will, and include a lasting legacy gift to Sea Shepherd, using our trusted partner platform, FreeWill. Learn more today!

If you’re based outside of the United States, thank you for being part of this global movement to protect marine life. You can explore other meaningful ways to leave a legacy by visiting our planned giving page.

And, if you’re in a position to give today, your support makes an immediate difference. Every donation helps fuel our ships, supply our crew, and keep us on the front lines defending ocean wildlife. Please consider making a life-saving donation today.

Thank you for standing with Sea Shepherd now and for generations to come.

For the Oceans,
Pritam Singh
Chairman, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

PS: If you’ve already included Sea Shepherd in your will or estate plans, thank you. Your decision is a profound act of generosity and compassion, and it means the world to us and to the ocean we fight to protect.

By sharing your intentions, you help us plan ahead and ensure your legacy is honored with the care and respect it deserves. Please take a moment to confidentially submit our short gift intention form.

Thank you again for standing with the oceans and all marine wildlife.
