Sea Shepherd Ocean Defence Tour 2026 | Sunshine Coast

Join Sea Shepherd Sunshine Coast for an unforgettable evening of conservation, storytelling, entertainment and community at our flagship annual fundraising event.

Be among the first—and only—audience on the Sunshine Coast 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.

Following the premiere, hear directly 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.

Guests will enjoy live music from folk duo Banksya, a welcome drink and a selection of canapés on arrival, a fully stocked bar, exclusive campaign updates, merchandise, raffles and the opportunity to connect with fellow ocean defenders.
