In just one month, with your help, I will be leading our seventh Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign with a crew of passionate, courageous volunteers from around the world. Our ships, the Steve Irwin and the Bob Barker, are currently being prepared for the campaign. Our only challenge now is to raise the funds for our new faster, larger, and stronger interceptor vessel (see picture below).
Despite the challenges, we continue to prevail because we are passionate about defending our oceans and we know we must fight for biodiversity in the oceans. We need your support to help us save whales, dolphins, seals, and more! You are our lifeblood! Thank you for making it possible for us to be effective.

| New Interceptor Vessel for Operation No Compromise |
|
 The Ocean Adventurer is the newest edition to Neptune's Navy. It is much like the Ady Gil, the vessel that the Japanese whaling vessel Shonan Maru No. 2 deliberately rammed and destroyed this past January, but the Ocean Adventurer is faster, larger, and stronger than the Ady Gil. It is going to have a great impact our our Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign!
Funds are still needed to completely secure this vessel and gear it up for Operation No Compromise. Please donate to support Operation No Compromise, and help us send the whalers home empty-handed this year! |
| Marine Parks - Do You Know What Your Money is Funding? |
|
The crimes against nature occurring in Taiji, Japan as you read this are something that have no place in the 21st Century. With all of our knowledge on conservation and marine issues, how can the slaughter of dolphins be allowed in 2010? Unbeknownst to most, the dolphins that make "the cut" are the ones who aren't slaughtered. They are chosen by trainers to live a life of slavery at marine parks.
Learn more about recent happenings in Taiji and how you can avoid inadvertently supporting the dolphin massacre. |
| Galapagos Marine Iguanas Saved by K-9 Unit |
|
 It is inspiring to see how our long-standing partnership with the Ecuadorian Environmental Police pays off time and time again!
Willy, one of the dogs in the K-9 unit, just recently rescued two live marine iguanas who had been improperly and illegally packaged for export from the Galapagos. (more) |
| Another Victory for the Harp Seals |
|
This week European Judge Marc Jaeger refused to suspend the ban on the importation of commercial seal products from Canada.
His ruling is great news for the seals! With the season for the "hunt" approaching in four months and seal populations at 10% of their levels before the "hunt" started, the seals can't afford for there to be a market at all for their "products."
Learn more about the victory for the seals! |

Our primary weapons in the battle to save those who have no voice from those who pillage and plunder the oceans are compassion, courage, and cameras. We put ourselves in harm's way to defend the very foundation of this planet, and our cameras dramatically document this message so that it can be conveyed to the world.
We are steadfast in our commitment to defending, conserving, and protecting marine wildlife and habitats worldwide. In defending marine wildlife, we defend ourselves; in fighting for the oceans, we fight for the future of our children. Please join us in this battle to save the planet. We believe it is not too late. Thank-you!
For the oceans,
Captain Paul Watson
Founder and President
