Southend-on-Sea in Transition

Fine music inside and outside to raise funds for the Railway vegetable garden project and Sea Shepherd. The garden is maintained and managed by local people with learning disabilities in order to help them develop horticultural and food preparation skills, combined with developing community and social engagement. Any surplus produce goes to a local homeless support project.

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS), established in 1977, is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.

Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.
