The purpose of this Foundation is to carry on Captain Paul Watson’s effective agenda to defend life in the sea through a unique strategy of aggressive non-violence and intervention against illegal operations exploiting life in the sea.

As the co-founder of Greenpeace and the founder of Sea Shepherd, Captain Watson has become the world’s most iconic anti-poaching and anti-whaling strategist.

We go where others fear to go, no matter how hostile or remote the seas, no matter how formidable the opposition because if we don’t, life in the sea dies and when the ocean dies, we all die!

"We intend to build an effective direct-action force for ocean conservation, with ships and crews equipped and prepared to sail into harm’s way, to defend, protect life, diversity and interdependence in the sea." - Captain Paul Watson
