THE EARTH SPEAKS. WE LISTEN. WE ACT.
Join us in exposing environmental crimes and holding perpetrators accountable.
About the Red Quill Society
At the Red Quill Society, we do more than track environmental crimes — we hunt them down.
Organisations like Global Fishing Watch and SkyTruth have done extraordinary work charting where and when the damage happens. But satellites can only see so much. They can track a vessel’s path — they cannot read the name on its hull or the faces on its deck. They cannot see the hands hauling in the kill.
That’s where we come in.
We bridge that gap with boots on the ground, eyes on the water, and ears in the places others can’t reach. Through direct field presence, first-hand witness accounts gathered via The Hauntline, and trusted whistle-blowers who risk everything to speak out, we identify the actors behind the harm.
We follow the hidden lines between corporate greed, political cover, and the destruction of the living world. We drag what hides in the shadows into the light.
Our mission is simple — and it does not waver:
Name the names. Expose the networks. Tell the stories others would bury in the deep.
Because justice for the planet isn’t won by watching from a distance. It’s won by closing in.
Nature's Beauty, Humanity's Scars

We Need Your Help!
They rammed us. They looted us. They ran us aground.
Then a corrupt court tried to finish the job.
Earlier this year, Red Quill Society’s vessel was attacked off the coast of Ecuador while investigating illegal fishing. We survived the assault – but now face $80,000 in bogus costs after a judge ruled against us.
We can’t let this stop our work.
We won’t.
They thought sinking a boat would sink us. They were wrong.

A Critical Need: Securing Our Own Vessel.
The Mission Needs a Ship Built for the Fight
To protect fragile ecosystems, work alongside Indigenous communities, and investigate environmental crimes in the world’s most contested waters, we need more than courage — we need the right vessel.
A strong, steel-hulled research ship will give us the safety, independence, and capability to operate anywhere on Earth — without relying on vulnerable charters or restrictive insurance.
Your support will put her in the water and keep our work moving forward. Naming and sponsorship opportunities are open.
Stand with us. Keep us at sea. Protect the oceans — and the truth.
Justice for the Planet Starts Here
Join the Red Quill Society
We are building a global network of those willing to witness, to document, and to defend.
If you can sail, investigate, research, film, write, advise, or stand your ground when the truth is under attack — there is a place for you here.
At the Red Quill Society, every skill matters. Every story matters. Every set of eyes helps drag what’s hidden into the light.
We are the watchers in the storm. We listen. We see. We act.
If you’re ready to stand for the planet and call the guilty by name — step aboard. The fight is already underway.
Support the Mission
Your contribution arms the Red Quill Society in the fight to expose environmental crimes and confront ecological injustice — wherever it hides.
With your support, we shield fragile ecosystems, dismantle hidden networks of destruction, and hold the powerful to account. We defend the places — and the stories — that cannot speak for themselves.
Every dollar is fuel. Every voice is another harpoon in the water. Together, we make it impossible for the guilty to hide.
