Learnings from 50 years of Ocean Defense
Activism is putting your body between a poacher’s weapon and a whale. It is also having the courage to harness creativity and turn what you imagine into reality. Captain Paul Watson’s legacy of ocean defense exemplifies both.
In a #ParleyLIVE session with Cyrill Gutsch, he shares personal stories and lessons from decades spent defending sea life. From examples of ecological insanity to reflections on the power of media and youth, Paul reminds us that the strength of a movement, like any ecosystem, lies in diversity — diversity of minds, talents and actions.
Paul Watson
Earning the reputation of an eco-pirate, Paul’s been a driving force and inspiration on the frontlines of marine conservation for over 40 years. He is co-founder of Greenpeace and the founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation, a global organization focused on direct action conservation and the enforcement of laws to protect marine wildlife. With Paul’s leadership, Sea Shepherd goes where no other group (or even government) will in record-breaking campaigns to thwart poachers and defend sea life. His work is recognized and supported by the best minds and feared by his opponents. He is a true Ocean Legend.
