“If the oceans die, we die.” – Captain Paul Watson

Kathy is joined by the legendary Captain Paul Watson, founder of the international non-profit Sea Shepherd and co-founder of Greenpeace. For fifty years, Captain Watson’s mission has been to eradicate illegal fishing and whaling on the high seas, and his achievements on behalf of marine life are extraordinary. In this riveting conversation, he and Kathy discuss:

• Capt. Watson’s life-changing encounter with whales that saved his life and led him to establish Sea Shepherd in 1977
• How essential phytoplankton are to the oceans and the planet as a whole, serving as a vital source of oxygen and life, and how illegal fishing methods endanger it
• The dangers of “bycatch,” where marine life will be harmed, and often killed, by fisheries working to fish out shrimp and salmon
• Sea Shepherd’s vegan ships filled with volunteer staff who risk their lives to protect the animals of the world’s oceans
• The thrilling missions Sea Shepherd has made to arrest illegal fishers and enforce government regulations around the world
