Ocean Defence Tour 2026: Voices from the Frontline
Join Sea Shepherd Sapphire Coast for an inspiring evening at the iconic Twyford Hall Theatre in Merimbula as the Ocean Defence Tour comes to the Far South Coast.
Be among the first—and only—audience in the region to experience the exclusive premiere of Before The Last Octopus, Sea Shepherd's powerful new documentary uncovering the story behind the Octopus Campaign and the fight to protect some of our most vulnerable marine ecosystems. This one-time screening is available exclusively as part of the Ocean Defence Tour 2026.
Following the premiere, hear from Captain Peter Hammarstedt, Sea Shepherd's Global Director of Campaigns, alongside Dirk Holman, Sea Shepherd Australia's Threatened Species Researcher and Sea Lion Campaign Leader, as they share firsthand stories from the frontlines of marine conservation and the ongoing fight to protect our oceans.
The evening will also feature a special presentation from Philip Wollen, internationally renowned philanthropist, animal advocate and former Citibank Vice President, who has dedicated his life to advancing animal protection and environmental causes around the world.
