Action Not Words
Unified for Ocean Conservation: The Paul Watson Foundation & Neptune’s Pirates
Our survival is intricately linked to the health of the oceans.
For over five decades, Captain Paul Watson has been the vanguard of the seas, courageously halting unlawful activities that threaten marine life. His legacy of 'aggressive non-violence' has seen the cessation of whale hunts in sanctuaries and the shutdown of countless illicit operations worldwide. As a pivotal figure in marine conservation, founding Sea Shepherd and co-founding Greenpeace, Captain Watson's unwavering resolve has championed the oceans' cause. The Captain Paul Watson Foundation is the latest initiative, advancing these essential efforts with renewed energy and focusing on direct and impactful action.
