MEETING WITH THE FRENCH MINISTER OF THE SEA AND BIODIVERSITY

MEETING WITH THE FRENCH MINISTER OF THE SEA AND BIODIVERSITY

March 29, 2024 Lamya Essemlali, the President of Sea Shepherd France, and I met today with the French Minister for the Sea and Biodiversity, Hervé Berville, to discuss finding a solution to protecting the two surviving Orcas at Marineland Antibes. We are proposing a sea pen sanctuary in France and we are working with an international group of experts and advisors to make such a sanctuary a reality. #orcasanctuary #orcas #SeaShepherdFrance #CPWF#captainpaulwatsonfoundationuk#captainpaulwatsonfoundation #herveberville#MarinelandAntibes

THE VERDICT

THE VERDICT

March 20, 2024 In their lawsuit against Sea Shepherd France and myself, the renegade Sea Shepherd Global directors demanded that if they won and they were quite confident they were going to win, and their demand to the court was to have the judgement against us posted on the Sea Shepherd France homepage every day for three months. They lost so that won’t happen, but I think I just may post a poem or a cartoon every day on my…

NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS

NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS

March 20,2024 A day after the court decision that dismissed each and every Sea Shepherd Global accusation against Sea Shepherd France, Lamya Essemlali and Paul Watson were dismissed and Global was ordered to pay some $27K to Sea Shepherd France for court costs there is not a single word on Sea Shepherd Global or Sea Shepherd Australia socials. No explanation as to why they have to pay the legal fees for Sea Shepherd France with donor money or an explanation of…

Honouring Lamya Essemlali

Honouring Lamya Essemlali

December 29, 2023 Excellent profile on Lamya Essemlali, the President of Sea Shepherd France in the French publication Reporterre. At the top of the article is a connection for an English translation. The translation is not great but understandable. When people ask me who do I think should replace me as the leader of the Sea Shepherd movement, the answer is easy. Lamya Essemlali has been the most dynamic and tireless Sea Shepherd leader for years. What she has done…

The Dedication of The WALRUS

October 19, 2023 Today I had the great honor and pleasure to be part of the official launch of the Sea Shepherd France vessel The WALRUS.

This vessel is named for my lifelong friend David Garrick also known as Walrus. Sadly, David passed away earlier this year on Vancouver Island, Canada.  Walrus was an incredible environmental…

A Challenge to the Mutineers for an Open and Transparent Debate

May 12, 2023 To Peter, Alex, Jeff and Geert, It has come to my attention that some of you (Jeff and Peter for sure) have been giving false and misleading information to supporters about both myself and Lamya and the reasons you unlawfully dismissed the two of us from the Global Board. I have not had any response from any of you since the email I received last summer dismissing me from the Board, a dismissal where there was no…
