Brave Protector of Marine Life: Captain Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Part 1 of 3 (INT)

Sea Shepherd was created in 1977, and its 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.” The organization sets itself apart from many other of our animal protection entities as its fleet of 15 ships uses innovative direct-action methods to provide security to endangered animals. Sea shepherd has chapters all over the world, and these are volunteers who, in their own communities, come together and are a support base for the operation of the ships and the campaigns.
