Protecting Marine Wildlife & Habitats

Over 1,000 marine species worldwide are threatened by illegal fishing, poaching, and whaling. The number of overfished stocks globally has tripled in half a century — today a third of the world's assessed fisheries are pushed beyond their biological limits, with industrial fishing now covering 55% of the ocean.

Sea Shepherd Australia wanted to expand beyond its activist base to secure corporate funding for ongoing direct-action missions. MEK developed a digital corporate partnership platform that elevated its DIY activist aesthetic into professional, investment-ready communications without losing urgency or edge. A modular digital design system showcased striking field photography, frontline conservation stories, and the tangible outcomes of corporate support, building trust and alignment with Sea Shepherd’s bold conservation efforts.
