Andrea Gordon from "Whale Wars" is Bosun's Mate on the Bob Barker vessel in the Animal Planet reality docu-drama.
Growing up in Atlanta, Andrea Gordon's passion for protecting animals first began on land. Working with Sea Shepherd in 2005 to save baby harp seals, she developed a profound desire to protect marine life.
This past year, while on sabbatical from her job as a public defender in Brooklyn, she has been volunteering with Sea Shepherd. She spent the summer investigating environmental crimes in the Galapagos Islands and then joined the Bob Barker on its maiden voyage in Africa.
Driven by a desire to save lives—whether whales, seals or humans—Andrea is devoted to protecting all of Earth's inhabitants. Besides working with Sea Shepherd, she saved lives in a different capacity—in the courtroom. Providing help to those who could not afford a lawyer, she spent four years as a public defender for the Legal Aid Society of New York City. She is currently co-founding the Galapagos's first animal hospital, Darwin Animal Doctors.
Andrea hopes to inspire other people to cherish and protect all life, whether in their own town or in the most remote regions of the planet.
