Smallscreen - Whale Wars
 "Click to view larger image")
Whale Wars premiered on Animal Planet in 2008. Captain Paul Watson founded his Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in 1977 because he believed his new organization had to go even further to eradicate whaling, poaching, shark finning, habitat destruction and purported ocean law violations than the Greenpeace group he had co-founded.
Watson's group of staff and volunteers have engaged in a thirty-year plus campaign every winter to find and stop Japanese ships that hunt whales in the name of research, attempting to stop them by any means necessary.
The eclectic group leave port in Melbourne, Australia for a two month campaign that is dangerous and has garnered international media attention.
Sea Shepherd's crew have risked their lives at the bottom of the earth to save whales.
