Loose Lips Sink Ships is a event aimed to raise funds and awareness for Sea Shepherd's 2008/2009 campaign, whilst having a rip roaring good time. The evening promises to be an entertaining and enlightening experience. Beginning with a Sea Shepherd film screening followed by music from three talented local acts, Farmer Pimp, Homebrew and Hit Deluxe. Expect to hear everything from Dub to Jazz, Hip Hop to Trip Hop.
Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Sea Shepherds mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.
Every year Whales of all species, from across the globe, migrate south to feed in the waters around Antarctica. Japanese Whalers (under the guise of "Research") recklessly harpoon these gentle giants in the back. Then after a long painful death are eventually shipped back to Japan ending there lives to produce anything from hamburger patties to cat food. This November Sea Shepherd will commence 'Operation Musashi', their fifth annual Antarctic Whale defense campaign. Departing from Brisbane, Australia the Sea Shepherd Ship Steve Irwin will then stop in Dunedin to refuel before continuing to the oceans south of New Zealand where Japanese Whalers aim to illegally slaughter 1000 Whales. Sea Shepherd will be the only organization there to confront and stop them.
This is a party not to be missed by anyone who likes good soulful music and cares about the present and future state of our oceans, and its inhabitants.
