Graham Wells Excellence Award
Hobart Chapter - 2025 Winners
The Hobart Chapter has shown unwavering commitment to Sea Shepherd’s mission, becoming a true example of what grassroots action can achieve. From organising events week after week to welcoming supporters aboard the Allankay during her time in town, this team has poured heart and soul into everything they do.
Their dedication extends beyond events, it’s in the way they support our crew, engage the public, and raise awareness for ocean conservation across Tasmania. A special thank you to Michael and Maria whose leadership and passion have taken the chapter to a new level and firmly placed Sea Shepherd on the map in Hobart.
Congratulations Hobart - your hard work, heart, and determination have not gone unnoticed.
