Loyalty and Dedication

June 5, 2023 Last summer when Sea Shepherd France President Lamya Essemlali told Sea Shepherd Global director Alex Cornelissen that I was forming the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, Alex laughed and said, “Right, who’s going to organize that? Omar Todd?

THE CAPTAIN”S CHAIR

This is an incredible ship. Fast, strong, and long range. The wheelhouse is spectacular with a 360 degrees view.

It was in June of 2022 that I was ousted from SSCS, and it was at the end of August 2022 that I received an email dismissing me from the Global SS Board. Our ships, our support list and assets were seized. The Brigitte Bardot…

What is it like to see your ships sold off and scrapped? What is it like to see the movement you created diminished and “rebranded” to be something much less than what it was, to adopt a new agenda that is contrary to the original…
