Captain Paul Watson from "Whale Wars" stars in the Animal Planet reality docu-drama. He is a marine wildlife conservationist, environmentalist, master mariner, author and writer, university instructor and public speaker.

For 30 years, Captain Paul Watson has been at the helm of the world's most active marine protection nonprofit organization—Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Paul Watson's career as a master mariner began in 1968 as a seaman with the Merchant Marines and with the Canadian Coast Guard. Watson majored in communications and linguistics at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.

In 1972, Watson was a co-founder of the Greenpeace Foundation in Vancouver, British Columbia. From 1971-77, Watson served as first officer on all Greenpeace voyages, and on a campaign against Russian whalers, he implemented his idea of putting activists in a zodiac between the harpoon and the whale. From 1976-77, he led all of the Greenpeace expeditions to protect harp seals on the ice floes of eastern Canada. In 1977, Watson left Greenpeace because he felt the original goals of the organization were being compromised, and because he saw a specific, global need to continue direct-action, conservation activities on the high seas.



In 1977, Watson founded Sea Shepherd Conservation Society—dedicated to research, investigation and the enforcement of laws, treaties, resolutions and regulations established to protect marine wildlife and their habitats worldwide. Since then, Watson has traveled and lectured extensively at universities and events around the world, including Pasadena College of Design and UCLA. He has authored six books: "Shepherds of the Sea" (1979); "Sea Shepherd: My Fight for Whales and Seals" (1982); "Cry Wolf" (1985); "Earthforce!" (1993); "Ocean Warrior" (1994); and "Seal Wars" (2002). In addition, he has been the subject of numerous magazine articles and profiles including being chosen by Time Magazine as one of the environmental heroes of the 20th century in the year 2000.

I have the greatest respect for Fleet Admiral Paul Watson and his direct action against the Japanese who have killed thousands of whales for profit . . . while the hold up signs in English, "We are collecting tissue samples". They must have one hell of a lot of microscopes! Of course any ship honestly engaged in scientific research doesn't need six-foot letters, R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H on it's sides. Shame perhaps? Good Luck & Smooth Sailing Sea Shepherds!

I have the lowest respect for deckhand Paul Watson and his "crew". They are endangering their lives, and the lives of the Japanese with their antics. I applaud each time they lose a ship, and Japan gets a whale under these circumstances. Harvesting from the ocean has gone on since time began, and it should not be made more dangerous with piracy, criminal behavior, and endangering HUMAN lives. I hope they don't kill themselves. The last thing the "whale-lovers" need is a martyr.

I applaud all the efforts by all the Sea Shepard crews for the humanitarian acts they do for all wildlife. Thanks Paul for your leadership,and thanks to all who donate time and money to their cause.

Who is Paul Watson dating? What do you think of Paul Watson?
