It will be used to help combat pirate fishing but also as a water ambulance. Thank you to everyone who helped make our boat a reality! Like EJF, it's only small, but will make a massive difference.

This is why Johnny's Sea World supports EJF
Nature has always provided for us and taken care of all creatures great
and small. We depend on the preservation of this magnificent gift for
food, medicine, energy, and all other means of comfort. We need nature
to survive. Simple as that. And some need it more than others.
Profit
driven companies and ruthless people take ...this for granted and plunder
all our resources. This means that in the very near future most of what
we need to live, work, heal, eat ... will be gone or so scarce that
only the richest on earth will be able to buy them.
Do we want this? No! So why do we allow all this to happen?
We can and must make a stand.
Johnny's
Sea World supports one of those groups that already made a stand and is
now, as you read this, taking action against those people who care only
for fast profit and don't give anything back. Each and every day they
fight with heart and soul for others, ... for us.
EJF, Enviromental Justice Foundation does much more than fight against pirate fishing. But this is the one we choose to support.
Will you join us? Will you make a stand.
He might have played one of the best-loved pirates on the silver screen, but Johnny Depp has hit out at the real-life villains of the high seas.
Johnny Depp says:
"Our seas and the people that depend upon them are facing a critical threat.
Pirate fishing operations are plundering fish stocks the world over, which in turn undermine all attempts at their sustainable management, already under pressure from widespread misdirection.
The devastating impact of this illegal form of fishing is felt not only by our marine ecosystems, but also by the millions of people living in some of the world’s poorest countries who rely on healthy fish stocks as an essential source of both food and employment.
Just so you know, this is not a problem without cure, but we have to act now if we are to protect our marine-life’s biodiversity and food security for future generations. It is more important than you, or any of us, can at this moment even begin to understand.
That is why I support the work of the Environmental Justice Foundation to raise awareness and provide ‘real-world’ solutions to the issue. Their efforts to engage in effective action to protect both people and planet will help to bring an end to pirate fishing, once and for all".
