In word usage as on some islands ([Isles of Scilly](/source/Isles_of_Scilly), [Hebrides](/source/Hebrides)) a **sea shepherd** is a person who keeps sheep on one or more of the grassy uninhabited outlying islands, and once a year visits those islands in a boat to take away the year's breeding increase.[1][2]
