Welcome to my Blog. As you may know, there have been legal attempts to stifle my story, but I will not be silenced. I look forward to sharing my thoughts and news about The Captain Paul Watson Foundation and our direct actions to save our Oceans.

THE CAPTAIN PAUL WATSON FOUNDATION has been established to promote and further the legacy of Captain Paul Watson. To focus on the protection and conservation of the Ocean through direct intervention supported by education, documentation, research activities and partnerships with other NGOs, governments and international institutions like the United Nations. It will be made up of a small team that will prevent any future interference or dilution of the overall vision of Paul’s legacy by keeping management and beaurocracy minimal. 

Life in the sea is being dangerously diminished and if the Ocean Dies, We Die! That is a fact. For over fifty years, Captain Paul Watson has been at sea fighting illegal operations intent upon destruction and death, impacting all species in the sea from Phytoplankton to the Great Whales. Utilizing the strategy of aggressive non-violence, Captain Watson has shut down hundreds of illegal activities around the planet, saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Because of his interventions the Japanese whaling fleet is no longer slaughtering whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. As a co-founder of Greenpeace – one of the most recognised conservation organisations in the world and the founder of Sea Shepherd that he built into the most effective marine conservation organisation on the planet, Paul Watson, arguably the most prolific and successful marine life conservationist of our time is now building a foundation in his name.  Captain Watson, has never changed his outlook, his dedication, courage, and imaginative thinking toward finding effective solutions to the  seemingly impossible problem of how we defend and protect life in the sea. There is a need for an organization to make waves and to undertake direct action. The Captain Paul Watson Foundation continues the work that Captain Watson has been so effectively passionate about for over half a century but will also be run in much less bureaucratic way than former organizations he founded or co-founded.

The Foundation is not associated or affiliated with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) or Sea Shepherd Global (SSG). 

The purpose of the Foundation is to focus on Captain Paul Watson’s particular vision and to partner with similar minded NGOs and organizations that share his original vision. 

The Foundation shall utilize Captain Paul Watson’s various publications from social media and commentary in media. All publications are re-published on the Foundation’s site, but not necessarily endorsed by the Captain Paul Watson Foundation—anything republished here is so a public record is kept of all the Captain’s posts.
