Challenging death on the beaches of Namibia
It's not often that a small conservation organization gets accused of being a threat to the national security of an entire nation. My crew has just safely returned to South Africa from completing Operation Desert Seal, Sea Shepherd Conservation (...)

The continuing adventures of the Farley Mowat
Retiring a ship can be a costly affair unless you have a way of getting someone else to take care of the dirty work for you. Sea Shepherd has used the services of the Canadian government since 1992 when we first retired the Sea Shepherd II and again (...)

Being called an (shudder) eco-terrorist
When Japanese whalers, Canadian sealers, Costa Rican shark poachers, and Libyan blue fin tuna poachers call Sea Shepherd an “eco-terrorist” organization, I always have the same response, “Okay already, arrest us, or shut the hell up!” Being (...)

Japan's whalers have been shut down!
Is it a ploy or the real deal? The Japanese Fisheries Agency is saying that the whale hunt has been suspended due to the interventions of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. I think it is premature to see this as a victory for the whales (...)

Sea Shepherd and Taiji by Paul Watson
Go Rin No Sho (The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi) It would be foolish to confront the practices of a particular nation or culture without first attempting to understand cultural practices and beliefs. I have been opposing Japanese (...)

Greenpeace Meets George Orwell: Greenpeace Rewrites History
Greenpeace has become very angry with Sea Shepherd and myself because of Sea Shepherd interventions against illegal Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean and illegal tuna fishing in the Mediterranean and because of criticisms of Greenpeace (...)

Where is Greenpeace?
Greenpeace has not sent a ship down to the Southern Ocean to defend the whales since 2007, but I wish they would. The more ships down there opposing the illegal activities of the Japanese whaling fleet – the better. Greenpeace has the ships, and (...)

Sea Shepherd welcomes the support
Two completely different fleets are making their way towards the Southern Ocean. The Japanese whaling fleet, weaker than ever before, is three weeks late as it steams southward. The three Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ships are stronger than (...)

The Cove Guardians Carry On
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is saddened to see Scott and Elora West depart from Taiji, Japan. With their visas expiring, they had no choice but to return home after three tough, long months on the ground daily at the Cove. They have (...)

Killing Time is Better Than Whalers Killing Whales
Sea Shepherd is fully prepared and battle ready, but it appears the Japanese whalers are tardy to the party. The Japanese whaling fleet is on its way to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary two weeks later than usual, and without a supply vessel or a (...)

Whaling … it's all about the money
When it comes to blatant propaganda-type reporting, even America's Fox network pales in comparison to Japan's Fuji TV. The latest piece of anti-Sea Shepherd reporting is more rant than news coverage with the news anchors making no pretense of (...)

Are the Whalers close to throwing in the towel?
It is November 27th, and the Japanese whaling fleet has not yet left Japan. Never before have they been this late in departing from Japan to head to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to slaughter whales. The whalers have not officially said they (...)

Thank-giving Day Slaughter of Dolphins at Taiji
Hi, this is Captain Paul Watson onboard the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin in Australia. I just received a phone call from Scott West in Taiji, Japan. It appears there is no respite for the defenseless dolphins driven into the Cove at Taiji this (...)

Where in the World is the Japanese Whaling Fleet?
Where in the world is the Japanese Whaling Fleet? By now they should be on their way to the Southern Ocean to murder whales. The whaling fleet has not departed from Japan yet. They should be well on their way south, but the ships remain tied to (...)

The Forgotten Victims of Mercury Poisoning
There had been much written and said about the impact of mercury on children and adults in Japan and the Faeroe Islands from eating dolphins and pilot whales. Yes, it is true that the children of the Faeroe Islands have the highest levels of (...)

Blackfish?
Who and what is blackfish? We do not know. In fact, until the report that dolphin holding pen nets had been cut in Taiji harbor and a release to that effect was posted, we had never heard of this group. Our team on the ground at Taiji were (...)
